every conn rod I've ever seen has a specific side that faces toward the front of the engine - might be identified by a cast mark or the shape of end cap, or if you're really lucky there might even be an arrow (check the manual, it's kinda important). if you're talking about the little hole angled towards the side on the top of the big end of the rod, that's for cylinder wall lubrication. piston squirters look more like this and tap directly into one of the main oil galleys
