Re: 356 connecting rod oil hole

Thanks for all the help. The pistons were in correctly. I may not have been clear enough. All 8 original rods had the squirt holes closed. I needed to replace one rod because of it being bent/twisted. I'll have to agree with Larry & Ross about used car values in the 60's. Probably some dealer just wanted to make the car saleable on the cheap or maybe some owner just wanted to get another year use of the car before buying a replacement vehicle. I remember working at car dealers then and the dealer owners would do anything on the cheap to get some old car running long enough to sell or wholesale. Thanks again, Craig
