Not exactly;-)

When I say "cross-drilled journal", I'm?talking about?the holes you can easily 
SEE when you look at the crank.? I don't know what to call the hole 
(passageway)?inside the crank that carries the oil from the main journal to the 
rod journal.

So,?my??question is... if you were having a TR4 crank custom built, how many 
holes that you can easily SEE in the main and rod jounals?ought there? be?? 

Thanks!

I believe a stock TR4 crank has one hole drilled thru the crank journal that 
carries the oil from the main bearing housings into the crank and passes to 
each rod journal. The stock crank has one set of cross drill holes in the rod 
journals to carry the oil out to the rod bearings plus a second set, what we 
are refering to as "cross drilled" at 90 degrees of each other.

?

Moldex is recommending just single passages on each journal. We think two on 
the rods and maybe the mains as well? Rich thinks a stock crank has a very 
small set of holes in the mains but we don't have a crank in our hands right 
now to look and confirm.

?

Am I making it clear now?
