hmmmm i not to sure but other people will know.... im no expet in engine or aftermarket stuff! good luck..!
The Wiesco instruction sheet is somewhat universal. The holes are for engines with bridged exhaust ports. No holes needed.
It is just my opinion and stems from my experience with 4 strokes but I never use synthetic oil when breaking in a new set of rings. Run a half tank of good petroleum base oil then drain and switch to synthetic.
Why you ask.
When seating in new rings you want to ware off the sharp peaks of the hone. I've seen new V8 engines that were broken in with mobile 1 and the cylinders looked like glass. What happens is a Synthetic oil provides way too much lubrication and will not let the "peaks" ware off. Instead what you get is a burnishing. Instead of the "peaks wearing off they bend over. Again, this is just a practice I also use on 2 strokes because breaking in rings on a 4 stroke with synthetic oil is a known no no.
