What is pressurised gudgeon pin oiling?
This is another Atomic innovation, borrowed from diesel engine technology. We redesigned our conrods in 2007 to provide a pressure feed of engine oil to the load side of the gudgeon pin bush, thereby providing oil directly to the gudgeon pins and bushes. As turbo/supercharged engines make more power than their normally aspirated cousins, the forces of combustion are far greater which leads to excessive pin/bush wear. Providing pressurised oil feed to the pins increases life of the engine considerably.
