Default Rocker Cover holes???

Just wondering what the holes are for on the front and back of the yb rocker cover? The front one is between the pulleys and the other is on the back edge where the rocker touches the head.

Surely oil will find it's way out of these and was wondering if there are any bungs needed as I didnt get them in my engine rebuild kit.

Cheers

they don't need bungs, they just vent the dry middle area within the rocker cover where the plug leads go through.

As said vent holes to keep area around plug/leads vented so moisture doesn't build there.
