[SEL] Water Needle valve on a "M"

[Ray Freeman Portable Line Boring]

The needles on mine are brass. Can it be drilled out? All the engines I have 
seen have cups on the mains. Mine even has a grease cup to lubricate the 
camshaft where it exits the side plate. There was no bush or bearing in 
there but as it was worn I machined it and made a bronze bearing for it.
