I thought the issue was the rocker arms? I guess you have to remove the motor to install that setup, due to the shavings when you drill?

!!! CAUTION - ANOTHER EDIT IN BOLD TYPE !!!

The method shown supplies oil directly to the valve-train from the pump (after filtering) with no (little) chance of blockage or (loss of flow volume). It supplies oil directly to the oil passages in the cylinder head, the center cam bearing requiring no groove and will provide better camshaft support.

You would perform it with the engine torn down for the reason you mentioned.
