Scat and Eagle connecting rods

[dwg86]

I’ve noticed that the scat and eagle connecting rods don’t have squirt holes machined in them. Maybe Russ can chime in here…what do you think about that? Do you think it’s worth the money to have grooves machined in the rods? Do the shirt holes spray enough oil on the cam to make a difference? Maybe run Crower hydraulic cam savers to help with extra oil if running aftermarket con rods? If I’m not mistaken the Crower lifters are topline/hylift.

I've heard from an experienced engine builder that the squirt holes in the connecting rods DO help lubricate the cam and prevent premature cam lobe/lifter failure.

So I guess it might be worth the money to have slots cut in the rods, or run Crower cam-saver lifters
