A method for controlling lubrication of a connecting rod bearing of an internal combustion engine arrangement , the internal combustion engine arrangement comprising: - a combustion cylinder housing a reciprocating piston movable between a bottom dead center and a top dead center within the combustion cylinder; - a connecting rod connecting the reciprocating piston to a crank shaft of the internal combustion engine; - a connecting rod bearing arranged between the connecting rod and the reciprocating piston for allowing a mutual rotational movement between the connecting rod and the reciprocating piston when the reciprocating piston moves between the bottom dead center and the top dead center; and - an inlet valve operable between an open position and a closed position, the inlet valve being arranged in the open position during at least a part of an intake stroke of the reciprocating piston for allowing a flow of fluid medium into the combustion cylinder; and an outlet valve operable between an open position and a closed position, the outlet valve being arranged in the open position during at least a part of an exhaust stroke of the reciprocating piston for directing a flow of combustion gas out from the combustion cylinder, the method being characterized by comprising the steps of: - controlling the inlet valve to be maintained in the closed position during a movement of the reciprocating piston from the top dead center during the intake stroke for a predetermined number of crank angle degrees ; and - positioning the inlet valve in the open position when the reciprocating piston has traveled the predetermined number of crank angle degrees from the top dead center, wherein lubricating medium is provided to the connecting rod bearing within a predetermined time period before the inlet valve is arranged in the open position. - a combustion cylinder housing a reciprocating piston movable between a bottom dead center and a top dead center within the combustion cylinder; - a connecting rod connecting the reciprocating piston to a crank shaft of the internal combustion engine; - a connecting rod bearing arranged between the connecting rod and the reciprocating piston for allowing a mutual rotational movement between the connecting rod and the reciprocating piston when the reciprocating piston moves between the bottom dead center and the top dead center; and - an inlet valve operable between an open position and a closed position, the inlet valve being arranged in the open position during at least a part of an intake stroke of the reciprocating piston for allowing a flow of fluid medium into the combustion cylinder; and an outlet valve operable between an open position and a closed position, the outlet valve being arranged in the open position during at least a part of an exhaust stroke of the reciprocating piston for directing a flow of combustion gas out from the combustion cylinder, the method being characterized by comprising the steps of: - controlling the inlet valve to be maintained in the closed position during a movement of the reciprocating piston from the top dead center during the intake stroke for a predetermined number of crank angle degrees ; and - positioning the inlet valve in the open position when the reciprocating piston has traveled the predetermined number of crank angle degrees from the top dead center, wherein lubricating medium is provided to the connecting rod bearing within a predetermined time period before the inlet valve is arranged in the open position. <EOS>
