I don't believe there is any reason to get into where the oil filter and pressure is - you could probably just put the hole in the offset where the filter cover is if you want to yank on the guide and tensioner plunger. That spot is not subject to the oil pressure - just the crankcase huffs and puffs of the running engine.
I still would prefer just finding a way to lock and release the pawl. Put the larger spring in as Verslagen has suggested - then find a way to pull on the pawl to release it temporarily while you rotate the engine over a few tirmes......rather than pulling on the plunger.

Pull the oil fill plug & measure case pressure there. Unless we know how many PSI air builds to we dont know what its gonna take to close a hole.

I am not sure how you are going to measure that pressure......the pressure changes with each stroke of the piston. At 1,000 rpm the piston is going up and down 17 times a second....the pressure gauge is going to bounce around with it. The positive pressure is going to be limited to whatever is leaking past the piston as blowby, which will be quickly vented out the breather tube. The crankcase really only has a very small amount of pressure - but a whole lot of oil spray and vapors moving around.

Then my approach would be to build an adjuster that adjusts like a brake drum & slot the case for access & use a brake drum access plug. Mite even be able to start with a brake adjuster,, fine threaded,its got a "no back off" adjuster, I think theres room there for it, Id like to see a pretty stiff spring involved, so it could be a tad slack when its cold.

Not easy to see with 2 odd scaled pic's.
but the pawl is directly under the "U" in SUZUKI.
An access port in the upper left corner under the filter cover would be under the housing to the left and below the pawl.

Can ya lay a side on its back & take a pic of the inside?
Does the oil filter go on the end of the crank? Ive forgotten how it all fits.
That pic is not encouraging, maybe access from the upper edge? Lookin like "straight in" would mean Thru the oil filter door..
HEY!,, Maybe pop the oil filter access off, & go in there??

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.
