Default Gen 3 hemi cam bearing spacers

Little bit of an oddball question but has anyone ever put cam bearing spacers in an aluminum block. Have a gen3 hemi block that is ready for roller cam bearings with set screws on 2,3 and 4. I want to use this block on the street but don't want the roller bearings because at idle there would be very little splash oiling since the cam is closed off from topend oil. Also don't seem to find anyone with a cam blank to do a cam for really big regular can bearings.

Can spacers be cut and pressed in and then line honed for regular bearings? If someone has done this I would appreciate a little info on interference fit and if a little tig maybe to hold them.

Or is there a way to put an oil hole in a roller bearing with out burring the inside.

Tried a couple of the Gen3 shops and they had no experience in it.
