Hi, I am reviving an old thread. I have a set of French rods that have a squirt hole drilled exactly as per Virgil's Canadian rod in post #17.
The hole can be seen as a bright mark under the "B" on the rod. it is at the top of the rod and not where I am used to seeing them in other types of engines (at 2.00 oclock or 10 oclock)
The set of 8 rods are all the same with the bearing shell lock tabs on the right, when the squirt hole is at the front.
Ronnie's picture is worth a thousand words, but I am not sure how to put this set in a motor.
Is it done with nos. 1 to 4 with squirt holes to rear and 5 to 8 with holes to the front (this puts the B/E locking tangs to the pan line)
Anybody know for sure?
