i got my eagle rods today for my b18a and i noticed that there is no oil hole going to the rod bearing like the stock b18a has...so how does it get oil???

The oil supply is from inside the crank journal. The flow of oil is from the crank up to the rod bearing. The wrist pin is lubricated by splash and by the oil squirters if you have them.

 

from the crank

 

lol, whatd u think the holes in the crank were for?

 

i kinda figured oil went up threw the crank aswell but i just expected to see the lil hole like the oem rod...wasnt sure..just checking..thanks guys

 

i have never noticed a hole in the rod cap???

 

IIRC the stock rods have one hole on the bigger half. If piston was at TDC, its pointing ~45 degree angle upwards. My guess would be to help move oil towards the piston, but memory doesn't give me an idea of the angles where that hole and the crank hole would line up.

exactly

 

arturbo told me the oil fairy does it.

 

that hole in there is to squirt oil onto the piston. Not really needed. I would suggest getting some acl bearings (I don't think they got holes in them).
