Piston Pin Oiling

[spetz]

Hi guys,

Just wondering, the hole in the piston where the piston pin goes, is it angled different in V engines to I engines?
And, would this prevent the interchangeability of pistons from V to I or vice versa?

EDIT: To clear things up.
I meant the holes under the wrist pin for lubication, not the one which the wrist pin itself sits inside the piston.
The holes can be seen here, used for oil to go inbetween the gudgeon pin and the eye of the piston:

Toda, this is not always an option though.

Also I edited my first post to clear things about which hole I meant

Ahh toda have soooo many good parts..n prices are reasonable when you consider all the R&D that goes into all their parts.

Anyways..why the question anyway..what are you plaNning on doing?

I would never use any reciprocating parts not meant for the engine..even if it fits. Got weight n balance to consider as well.

Yes but Toda does not have parts for all cars.

At this stage mostly curious

That's a good thing in eyes. More focused on NA development. - but yea off topic anyway.
