Abstract
A connecting rod includes a connecting rod body having a crank arm bore portion at a first end and a pin bore portion at a second end. A beam portion connects the crank arm bore portion and the pin bore portion. At least one oil squirter is provided within the crank arm bore portion. The oil squirter operates to selectively communicate oil to the underside of a piston. One of the oil squirters is a plain orifice oil squirter or a check valve regulated oil squirter.
