Hi
My latest project is a twin marine type engine, open crank vertical
I am worried about lubricating the gudgeon pin in the small end and wondered if it would be a good idea to lock the pin to the con rod, fit bushes to the piston and let the pin rotate in these bushes
My thinking is that oil from the lubricator into the cylinder would have a better chance of getting into a bush either side of the piston rather than hoping it might get through a hollow pin to the little end which is my other option
This engine is similar to the frisco standard so anybody with experience or advice on this kind of setup please feel free to chip in
Regards
Dougie
