Molnar connecting rod oiling question

[Juan Veldez]

A good friend gifted me an almost brand new set of Molnar H Beam connecting rods for my 340. I noticed it does not have an oiling hole out the side that would align with the hole in the rod bearing. Something I'm missing?

I assume you are talking about the squirt hole to oil the piston bores?
Eliminated even by the OE companies in later years - not a problem.

Yes, even the new rod bearings don't have the notch in them anymore. It's fine for a roller camshaft which a lot of people run today, but I like the the notch in the bearings and grove in the rod cap as to slings extra oil on the camshaft when running a flat tappet camshaft. Me, since I have my own little machine shop in my barn, I'd add the groove, but that's just me.
