Do they also add to the lubrication of the bores.
I gather these needs are otherwise supplied by oil thrown off the big end bearings?

look into the block from the deck side and you will see them in the bottom of the bore.. on the subaru engine they are a bolt in nozzle etc..

Fitted as standard to closed deck blocks.
