I believe the hole in the rod (early rods) was to squirt some oil to the piston skirt for cooling. Ford deleted that later as it wasn’t necessary, at least in their estimation. I’ve ‘re-shaped’ holes in cranks to match the oil holes in the bearings but, drilling on a bearing would be sketchy, at least for me. My instinct would be to use the bearings and cover up the hole in the rod. Unless you can find bearings with the extra hole. Just my 2 cents.

                The hole in the connecting rod and bearing is for =
lubricating the cylinder walls.   Ford removed this feature from the =
rods and bearings about March 1966.

Can you use the bearings without the hole in these rods =E2=80=93 yes.

Sorry to keep bugging everybody.  The piston rods in the 260 have an oil =

that would allow oil to come through from the rod.  I did some searching =
and it looks like some brands of bearings have a hole and some don't. =20

I found the original Ford part number in the Tiger repair manual =

the hole or not.

Does anybody know whether I can use the Sealed Power parts or should I =

Thanks for all of the feedback.  The consensus is that the holes are not
needed.  So I will stick with the Sealed Power bearing shells.

Thanks,
Joe Brown
