Check your rod bearings!

Just got a set of Clevite rod bearings. There is no hole at the parting line for the oil squirters! I will be adding a passage in mine.
I have a 2000 model year engine, and the stock bearings had the hole.
Best I can tell is they are for oiling the cam.
Just a heads up if it has not been covered.

The 2 sets of federal mogul bearings I bought have the holes. (CP960)

The older clevite rod bearings that i think were made in brazil, had the oiling holes in them, the USA made bearings did not. (or do i have that backwards???) Either way, Chris and I both had to notch our bearings out ourselves.
