This morning's call to a 3sx sales guy (I won't name him) went something like this:

Me: The aftermarket rods you sell for the 6G72 don't have oil squirters like the OE rods, so I'm wondering what happens to oiling of the cylinder wall - is it sufficient with these rods and do you have any anecdotal evidence of cylinder wall wear from anyone running no block squirters and using these rods?

Him: I wouldn't worry about it..... just run 'em... they'll be fine.

Me: Well, do you know what happens to oil pressure if these rods are used in place of the OE rods?

Him: Nothing at all.

Me: What do you think would happen if I closed off 6 feed holes in the main oil supply?

Him: Well, oil pressure would go up.

Me: How can that be if nothing happens when I use these rods?

Him: Huh?

Me: Who at 3sx builds your engines?

Him: Whichever tech is available, but they don't take tech questions on the phone - you'll have to send an email.

Me: Thanks and good-bye.

So, I sent an email........... I can't wait to see the answer. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
