The answer that I got from Michael Yousik (of Mattituck) is "leave the
line in place" because of the plate that is installed on the governor
pad that allows the oil to be dumped into the sump.
See the photo attached to see the machining that was done to allow this.

I used Sherwin Williams P60G2 wash primer inside the tail, wings and aft
fuselage of my RV-6A. I used Sherwin Williams GBP 988 in the forward
fuselage (under places where I also sprayed on some Sherwin Williams Acrylic
enamel to make the cockpit area look nice). The reason I used the 988 up
front was in case the color coat wore through, you'd see the gray primer
underneath and not the ugly green wash primer. Oh and I also bought a few
spray cans of Zinc Chromate from Gulf Coast to do small parts and things
that cant be seen inside the airplane. Just being anal about airplane
building.

I also ordered a TMX-IO360 (injected parallel valve 180 HP) from Mattituck
with the constant speed package. But, when I ordered it I told them I was
going to mount a fixed pitch prop for early flights and to set the engine up
for FP before shipping it to me. So, they put a cap over the governor
opening and included the governor drive assembly in the shipping box in a
plastic bag. The aforementioned metal pipe was also in the shipping box and
not installed on the engine. The tapped hole at the front of the crankcase
had a pipe plug installed. All I had to do was mount the FP prop and I was
ready to go, no crank plug disassembly or piercing required. They also
included a new crank plug in the event that I decide to switch over to
constant speed (after 4 years of fun, probably not.
I will be curious to hear about how your setup (with the light Catto and
fuel injection) idles after warm up. I originally had a wood prop on and
the engine did not want to idle very well after warm up. Not a problem with
the Sensenich metal prop that I have now because it has sufficient mass/
inertia to keep the engine turning over, leaning on the ground also helps
keep it happy. Best of luck, you're gonna love it!
