The hole punched is just a passage. The diameter doesn't really matter much. The precision part is the channel in the pump drive pin.
I don't know whether it's bad or not to flood the IMS tube with oil. It is my understanding that oil finds its way in there anyway and gets trapped. Maybe allowing it to circulate and refresh itself may not be such a bad idea.
It's just a thought, I'm in no way an expert in this matter. But the concept makes sense to me.
And BTW, Pelican Parts is an EPS Retailer. They sell the kit for $696.00
