    I was wondering how many of you on here like the idea of/run oil squirters? How do you prefer to run them; mains, oil galley, separate electric pump, ect.? How much cooling is actually achieved? Any negative effects?

    I like the idea on thin crowned pistons and using pressure from the OE pump system. Never evaluated it for a Buick, but the L6 Pontiac engine I plan on sticking a turbo on I have looked at running an external set of oil lines with fittings that go through the block and point up the cylinders.

    I'd have them just offset of the connecting rods. Haven't thought much more beyond that.

    At least my first thought was "Why was a carb question in the High Tech for Old Iron"!

    So we see who uses their computer for other than Buick stuff :Brow: Oh and I think oil squirters are a good idea. I have one on my TC in the front cover

    I immediately thought of oil squirters for the underside of pistons. Guess that makes ME the freak. :spank:
    I know Nissan uses them in SR20DET to help cool the piston. I wonder if coatings would perform about the same?

    Disappointed at the thread so far....
    Was hoping for more information besides the obvious direction of the thread. Bill Jones Racing (.com?) has some interesting fixturing to the issue of machining consistently.

    Cooling the piston with oil has obvious advantages as well as a wider valve seat in the realm of homogenizing the temps in the combustion chamber.

    Or, simply show me some real world examples of some "squirters" for my juvenile entertainment....pics are a must!!

    The pics aren't much to look at. This is from the Nico Club Forum on rebuilding an SR20DET
