Default make ls rods like Vtec rods

i am building a lS vtec for my brother and i have both sets of rods and i notice
that on the B16 ones that there is no hole for oil to get into bearing and then i notice two i guess spaces on the side of the rod (vtec ones) to allow oil to enter bearing.
my question is has anyone milled LS rods to help with more oil. is it even worth it?

i am getting engine balanced too

oil get gets to the bearing on both rods..
what the vtec rods are missing is the pin hole from the bearings to the ''top'' of the rod; on the ls rods thats used to spray oil onto the bottom of the pistons.
vtec motors have oil squirters to do that.
upgrading rod bolts/resizing rod big ends is worth it.
