Banzai isnt screaming, he just reminds you it would be better to drill an undersized hole and ream to the proper size.
Also: I would not use "RED" Loctite: aka THREADLOCKER
I recommend "GREEN" Loctite: AKA SLEEVELOK
Green is designed for PERMANENT installations

See green X. There is a hole there, and the shaft is tapered in the midsection.(as I tried to illustrate, sorry I don't have a camera on hand). The MOP feed line goes right into the middle of the midsection and has a hole on the opposing side.
Just a theory though... It crossed my mind but I could be off base..

Question: Does oil really squirt out that hole??? To lube the chain that is near it?
Or is it a relief for the metering process or something similar?

Does anyone know what size orifice is in the front plate? I forgot to measure when I had my front cover off. At 60 psi (or higher) I'd say it squirts out the hole far enough to hit the chain, if the chain is in line that is.

yep. There should actually be a roll pin in that upper hole.
Scathcart since you don't have the pictures ready yet can you explain as best you can? I'm ready to put my front cover back on as well.. I'd appreciate more insight on this before I slap it on.
