That is exactly what we were going to do for the mass launch. We have special casings that we bought that have a slightly oversize ID to fit the "T" engines. LOTS of them!
The testing we have done with modern engines has been positive. The three holes do vent the pressure sufficiently. Of course, I have not tried any of those Kentucky bird shot loads that Bill uses.
