problem with eagle rods

I have just recieved my eagle H- beam rods and i was comparing my ve rods to those and noticed there is no oil jet on the rod to spray the underside of piston and wall.has anyone one else worked around this. im gonna email eagle and see if the rod can be drilled without weakening.
or see if the offer the rod with oil jets. I always thought the vgde had oil squirters on the block and rods.
any input would be helpful

the crower rods are the same way, no oil hole. I had to have jwt drill spots on the block for oil squirters out of a vg30dett they fit perfect.

by the way the squirters on the rods are just for the wall. some nissan engines have both squirters though(ka24de, sr20, vg30de & tt, etc.)

Oil squirting

Make sure there is some squirting going on, it cools the pistons, lubes the bores, makes them last longer....There is a reason the factory put the darned things in there in the first place.

the only downside to squirting oil on the bottom of the piston is it can add weight and also throw off balancing somewhat from what i hear
