Doesnt the block need to be drilled to hold one of the idlers?

The thrust plate fits over the cam sprocket hub out of the engine. When the cam is in and thrust plate bolted down it is a problem. I looked at a spare thrust plate and the hole looks out of round. I do have calipers but this was at a friends place out of town. I am going out ther tommorow.
I guess the question is, does the thrust plate center/support the cam and cam sprocket or does it just keep it from rocking back and forth?
As for the block being drilled, I didn't read anything about that in the instructions.
