H-beams or standrad rods, oil feed Q.

[Appletree IS supercharged]

Hi, for my supercharged build i planned to upgrade to these rods from PPM http://www.pureperformancemotorsport.com/ and bought them, however no ive got them and a chat with the guy whos building my engine i'm not sure i can/should use them?

We were looking at the feed tothe small end/grudgen pin on the stock conrod and theres a 3/4mm hole on the top of the small end (directly under the piston) and an oil squirter from the top of the main ( i do mean main not big end) which looks like it squirts oil directly at the centre of the underside of the piston so that it lubes the skirt and also splashes back on to the hole in the top to lube the small end/grudgen pin, theres also a small half round hole cut in to the top of the conrod clamp big end ( the conrod part as aposed to the clamphalf) which i'm not sure if this is to also squirt the oil up wards?

the problem is the new rods dont have a hole on the top but instead have two slightly smaller holes at the bottom on either side pointing down, these will be hidden in  gapes of the "H" when the new rods are in place? do people think this will be a problem and the small end wont get lubed properly?

Would i be better to sell them and use the standard ones as robs proved they stand the boost i'm panning to run??

The main reason was that when i bought them the general consensis was that the m42 pistons were forged and the rods were lightened so i wanted to replace the potentionaly weak part.

as it turns out now it was infact the other way round, the rods are forged and the pistons lightened.

Just stripped one down so you can see, not so much a oil catch bath as you can see... :?






This is what i have.

And i think this is what i should have got...


Wonder if the wrong ones have been put in the box?

You can just see the oil squirters in No.3/4 cylinder there the shiney bit pointing up wards.



Hope tim doesnt mind me using a pic of his engine but i couldnt find any others on google images.
