Default CA18DET bottom end query...

As per title,my question is fairly simple i hope and anybody who has done a full rebuild of a CA18DET should be able to say yes or no! I am building a CA18ET but using uprated parts from a DET as the bottom ends and basically the same,however the conrods differ somewhat. The standard ET rods have a hole in the bigend bearing and a hole in the casting of the big end of the rod with a restrictor to produce the cooling oil mist for the bottom of the pistons,however the new forged rods i have for the DET do not have this. Although the design looks like the shape of the side of the rod may serves as means of shooting oil to the underside of the piston for cooling and gudjon (sp?!) pin lubrication. My question is simple after i have waffled on setting the premise, do CA18DET engines have a seperate oil squirter facilities or not?

hope that makes sense!

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Ben
