Well, I don't know exactly how they work but apparently it works!!! :-)
Here you can see a picture of two pistons with oil squirters on them:

Apparelntly, there's a piece of the piston that's cut off to let the oil ge=

inside in order to cool it...

There's also a write-up on pistons, Carillo rods (the cr=E8me de la cr=E8me=
 as

and, more generally this page:

If anyone knows more about the exact principle, share it with us please!
