| Post subject: | Oil spit holes on connecting rods |
I have just picked up a 225 and took the oil pan off and noticed oil holes in rods are the wrong way it is a very giod running engine and looks ro be very recently rebuilt should i remive the head and put the rods in they way they are suposed to be ir just leave it. I unerstand the old aluminum engine had them in this way. Just was wondering if the cam would fail if i leave it. The engine will be used as a daily driver no hard use or rpm. Thanks mike |

The enhine i have is a 1976 forged crank engine so by what that article says they would likely be in backwards. Do you think i should just leave it alone or do you think it would cause problems |

What are your uses for the engine? Does it run well and not smoke or leak? Unless used under extreme conditions, I would probably leave it alone, since any disassembly will risk introducing new faults. If you have the time and inclination, however, then go for it. Lou |
