Response to oil timing

Imo, it makes little difference when the rod is "oiled" and you are fairly limited on where the hole can actually be drilled... without plugging/cross-drilling.
What I am getting at is the OEM oil holes are drilled on one plane, they are all drilled ahead of the cranks direction of rotation. Get a stock crank, poke a piece of wire or whatever in the BE to main oil hole and see where its been drilled... you will find it is off-set to one side only.
I have several different aftermarket cranks from different manufacturers. They are ALL drilled differently...even the chinese stuff. Their oil passages cross the cranks actual centerline to help stop the centrifugal force starving the BE.... I would be surprised if your Moldex not drilled in a similar fashion.
