The hole on the little end is for oil splash to lubricate the piston pin.

While I've seen rod bearings with "V" notches in the indicated location, the pistons & cylinders also get splash from oil running out from between the rods as the shaft rotates. The larger the gap between the rods (usually .025 max) the more splash.
