i will put it on starlet club colin mate. chris.

also whille this subject has comup. the forged rods with the grooves provide much better oil breakout from the crankpins (replenishing) and lubricate the thrust surfaces much better reducing frictional losses and reduce shell to pin radius ride. xx

colin get face book and com on our page unit 6 motor sport. all our engine get stripped and all info put up thr for all to see mainly the toyota engines and honda. we have built a d15y8 engine at the min that should be amazing. its got the 3rd compression ring (good for boost) and a very good crank to rod ratio. a t3/t4 turbo is going on. should make the b18 look tame. xx

the big end and even thrust clearence of the conrods and main caps (crank) is lubed by oil breakout from the shells the only part of the crank that might be subject to splash/misting will be the little end but thr is a oiler hole on all e serise con rods. so this is now not the case. misting is not desirable in pro engines. just in its nature it increases crank case pressure (not good).

love you to mate. and hows u and family. i will explaine the oil system and how it works and flow paths on starlet club mate. dead simple.

and to answer the question asked here it simple. or at least could be = heat and piston ring sealing. expansion of the piston due to inaficent heat removal of the bore walls and rings = (runin process). or seizer of the little end forcing the crank to have to force the rod round = conntact with the crankpin and shell.

luk is right guys. i can put up direct pics of the main oil gallery from the oil pump to the oil pressure switch. cant belive wat im reading. splash to feed your big ends "crazy talk" even the little end whitch in som cases can be fed by splash on the 4efte is fed by a hole in the con rod called a oiler. this require pump presure behind it to do its job. com pn guys this is basic stuff.
