Bearings have no holes for oil?
I ordered a pair of main bearings for the front and back stationary gear and got them today but when I compare them to the ones that I'm replacing they have holes in them where the new ones don't.. Will it be a problem if I use them? Can I drill a hole in them for the anti rotation screw?

Something is way wrong, then - it may be bearings for something else. I would get the right part.

Sorry I should have made myself more clear its got on hole instead of multiple holes.
According to the internet the bearings are meant for the 13BT and 13B-MSP
MAIN BEARING. Mazda # 082010502B

Take a look here -
Mazda Rotary Engine Main Stationary Gear Bearings
That shows what the bearings are supposed to look like and the Mazda part numbers.

^ Harsh way to put it, but this a VERY key component in the engine. You really want the right part. The FD bearings were upgraded from the FC bearings to handle the higher RPM and horsepower. Trying to "make it work" just because it's in your hand is shortsighted.

If you're worried about saving money and using what you have over sending parts back and waiting for the right ones you will be in for a bad surprise. I made mistakes cutting corners and getting impatient and it bit me in the ***. Now I ride a motorcycle and my heart aches every time I see an FD. Don't make the mistake of saving money on the get go or you'll have to let go. Spoken from experience.
