Thrust Washer Lube

There had been a thread here some time ago, where someone (was it you, Ted?)
that advocated drilling an oil hole from the main rear bearing gallery out to
the upper rear thrust washer?

What size hole would anyone recommend?  1/32", 1/64"?

While rebuilding my 1500 engine, I'm adding a second thrust washer pinned to
the rear main bearing cap.  Now I want to lubricate the upper and lower rear
washers since they get the most wear.

Appreciate any thoughts on this.

Cheers, Fred
