I understand about the environmental concerns & actions. Poking a hole in a 'good' spot on a non-drain plug equipped pan I get. Poking a 2nd hole inches away from a drain plug I don't get when tilting the object nets the same effect.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
