Thanks,

The squirters in my 62 Jeep engine are built into the connecting rods and they spray all the time, no pressure limits.

Not so much for cooling though, more just to lubricate. It's an I-4 with over 9" rods. The motor redlines at 3200rpm so there's just not much 'splash oiling' going on way up there in the cylinders.

I can picture a v-notch in the rod working effectively if done right.

Piston coolers are a vital part of heavy diesel technology,just lost #3 piston and liner on a cummins ISX due to a mechanic using too much silicone gasket maker on a oil cooler gasket...silicon got in the oil galley and plugged the "squirter " and the piston seized...Its definately worth the effort to use coolers if you pushing combustion chamber temps beyond the limit ...cheap insurance provided you have enough oil volume...

...BUMP!

Has the verdict come in on these oil squirters? I'm still on the fence and I'm at the point in my project that if I'm going to do the mod, I need to do it now.

Scott, 2387, 175 flywheel hp. heavy ghia, SE heads (less fins) flat out on the curcuit (110mph sustained), 280 F heads on a 100 degree day. all tin etc with 2 mods, ceramic head and piston coating and porsche squirters, really keep the temps down.
I have no back to back testing, but i am very happy with the result. Dakota digital not VDO so very accurate temps. 1600's get hotter than this if you flog them!
I reckon squirters are a logical part of the package IF you need additional cooling in your application.

I just had them done on my 2500cc turbo case; should receive it Thursday so no testing yet but I can tell you that the majority of 1600 class desert racing engine have them and don't use a 30,mm pump. Most use 26-28mm. THey steadily run in the 3500-6000RPM range so the pressure is there to make them work well.

So where is the best place to get the Porsche oil squirts? I have looked on line at some Porsche suppliers and didnt see an advertisement on these little things. Does any one have a part # they can share?

I personally think squirts would be a great addition to any build. Stock to wild.
I'd love to try them someday.
