Upgrades to OMP for series 1 to avoid center of the housing wear?
Are there any aftermarket upgrades for the omp so you can help to avoid the wearing in the middle of the housings? i know series 2 has the injection line going to the middle of the housing as well as the outside... but my series 1 i dont want to premix everytime to save the motor after i rebuild it... didnt know for series 1 if there were any upgrades ?

Nope. SOHN adapter, premix, and increase OMP rates VIA Cobb AP. You could use S2 housings, install extras injectors, and fabricate custom Oil metering lines and figure the vacuum lines but it's too much hassle and adds more points of failure IMO.

Oh i thought you said front cover, brainfart on my side.
Still, premixing is the only real solution to the lack of proper lubrication at the center of the apex\housing.
