Ernest, not that I’m a genius but the only way you might be able to do a) is to supply the chamber with compressed air at low psi … but I doubt if the spark plug holes and rotor face will align with the area under the oil injector bosses.

The alignment is really good, actually.  I've attached a picture of the completed manifold.  Those shiny spots right above the injectors are the oil injector bosses.

Looking at this picture has me thinking of a different modification...turning the fuel rail 90*, and drilling the upright part of the support.  That would direct the injectors into the outer runners at about a 30* angle.

OTOH, I do have one of those self-contained HVLP sprayers that could give a me a good supply of air into the chamber.
