took my 996 engine apart, after a big end failure, got a new cradle and crank

failed one is a 10/98 production, new one is 02/00 both have the dual row chain
but the cradle is different , there are some small differences in the oil passage ,
can i just install the new cradle or machine the holes

both sides have differences

have a look at the pictures , what do you think
