Anyway, off to vauxhall i go
They DO know what they are on about down there, they've built some serious motors, although mainly N/A they have done turbo stuff for motorsport too i know (not on standard rods though)
Thats what i thought when i went there, I've not 'heard' too much about SBD working with turbocharged engines, all i've ever heard them do is throttle bodies and such like.
I'll see what they say, like you said, would be interesting to know.
EDIT: Think they answered the question in the first E-mail to tell the truth, even mentioning their rods
Dear Spencer
Thank you for your email. The bearings we supplied are the correct ones for
your engine. None of our bearings have oil holes in them. We have found you
do not need to use bearings with holes as they are not needed. Even our
steel rods for the ultimate spec engines do not have oil holes in them. If
you really want an oil hole, then you can drill back from the rod through to
the bearing and make your own oil holes. But to be honest with you, they are
not needed. There is plenty of oil spray from the side of the bearing when
it gets squeezed out.
If you want to ring and have a chat about this, please do.
Regards
Dick
