Lubricant question

I've got a question about the oil system of a 1.4 HDI engine (on a Peugeot



206). Is ther a system of kanals in a HDI motor to give oil to the cilinders under the pistons???? Or dit the oistons get oil direct from the crankshaft. I ask this question because i got a broken piston ring, without burning the big-end scale. The engine did not have not worked without having less oil or something like that.


Don't know the specific details on this engine, but normal practice is to have a small hole in the con rod at the big end. This gives a squirt of oil every revolution onto the cylender wall.
