I'm putting together a 250 to race in Lemons. I blew up the last one due to some oil starvation issues.
I've got 2 different sets of rods I can use, one set has an oil squirter hole drilled at the big end and one does not.
The squirter points away from the cam, down the thrust side of the cylinder wall.
Seems like more oil into the cylinder wall on a race motor is a good thing?
The "no squirter" motor is a D5 block, and I'd read that the elimination of these squirters had to do with emissions stuff. Not relevant in my case.
So...any reason to use the non-squirter rods that came of out this block?
