Watch out for some of the aftermarket rods, some of them do not have oil squirt holes like the stock rods do... The oil squirt hole squirts oil on the opposite cylinder walls to help lubricate them... Some companies claim that you don't need them, but I'm not gonna be their guinnea pig and do their testing on my engine and my budget... Also make sure if you use rods with oil squirt holes, you get bearings with the notch for the oil squirt hole, some bearings do not have them...
