Crower Rods, PN B93752B-4 (no lube hole???)

Hey guys... so I live in Costa Rica and found out that someone has 4agze (as advertized) Crower rods for sale. It took me a while to find the ARP bolt part number because I know the two that brian crower uses but happens that these are not Brian... they are Crower...

All good but two things...

1. I can't find the weight on these. I have a blacktop and I do not wish to add weight to the stupid light rods since I'll be NA and will probably never pass 8500 rpm (got valve spring, tomei cams, toda pulleys, trd gasket and that is all).

2. They are new... but the guy did not installed these because he had a 1st gen 4age and he said that the crower rods did not have a lube whole for the bearing... does this sound right?

Thanks to anyone who can advice...

I think it's Brian Crower, not only Brian nor only Crower.

Only a small percentage of aftermarket rods will have the oiling hole. It is to oil the thrust side of the cylinder wall during low RPM and/or low load use. I would not be bothered by it.
