i did the sub assembly last night, and figured out i could turn the conrods around, facing the other way, this would make the oil outlet hole face the
cam and spray oil over the crank
is that a bad thing?
I think so - google piston pin offset.
yes (bad) also because the spray of oil would be on the wrong side of the poiston.

It sprays over the bore though, and camshaft lubrication is not a problem in the Crossflow anyway.
