never really seen this before...oiling passage at the wrist pin
I come across this on yahoo auctions japan today. Thought it was sorta interesting. Anyone on here ever do this? Pretty obvious what it does. They pretty much say its for oil cooling, and wrist pin cooling. thoughts?

stock wrist pins must be pressed into the rod and the piston floats on the pin. aftermarket wristpins float within the rod and the piston floats on the pin which is held from sliding out of either side with a circlip.
this means under normal circumstances you need aftermarket rods to use aftermarket pistons. unless you mod your stock rod as such.
what this guy wanted to do originally was stick something like a wiseco piston in his motor and didnt want to shell for the rods which probably werent needed anyway if it was a mild set up. so he had the little end of the rod machine a few .001 larger, then drilled that chamfered oil hole to lube the wristpin.
thats all. its nothing big, been done many times and theres nothing wrong with it on a sub 250whp/10k rpm NA motor as long as the hardware is upgraded as well.

ahhh i see....thanks for the clarification...
now you say that it is good under ~250whp/10k rpm.... are you referring to the process done to the above rods? or any floating wrist pin in general?
