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.

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.

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).
