In a piston and connecting rod assembly, for an internal combustion engine with a spherical connecting rod small-end entrained in a hollow piston body by a retention ring, a chamber serving as a localized reservoir for lubricant and/or coolant (oil) is incorporated in the underside of a piston crown along with passages or grooves communicating between the reservoir and a coolant gallery in the piston crown for continuous interchange of lubricant (such as oil) between gallery and reservoir and then lubricant return, over small end (upper and lower) part-spherical bearing surfaces to the retention ring and through lubricant passages in the ring to an engine crankcase, thereby affording an overall circulatory, lubricant feed and drainage path.
