I know its been covered lots of times, and I read most of them, lol
this question never been covered.
B18C block with LS Crank = Oil squirters
ppl say for forged pistons, I don't need to Oil squirters or bend them since forged pistons are pretty much high heat resistence, so they don't need the oil to cool them down "correct if Im wrong"
I'm installing B16 pistons. and they are ceramic coated pistons, are they as reliable as forged pistons? both are high heat resistence purposes

Please Advise. Thank you

 

Bend them out of the way.

 

the cooler the better

 

use them as you're still on an OEM cast piston

 

dont use them ls block dont have them...nither should the gsrs need them....i just installed my ge squirtter block off yesterday and they are nice

 

You cant run them with an LS crank in your GSR block. just plug them.

 

I have this setup in my car now, and with my engine, the oil squirters didn't clear the crank.

Just because the LS block doesn't have them, is that a defined conclusion as to why GS-Rs shouldn't use them? This goes with the same debate as to how LS blocks don't have a block girdle so they are unnecessary in EVERY LS/VTEC build.

At a risk of offending 90% of the forum, there's other forms of motorsport other than drag racing where the girdle is "nice" to have.

If you have forged pistons, sure, block them off. But don't go telling others it doesn't work when it can and has been done before.

 

ok sorry didnt mean to tell you what you should do....what i meant to say is thats how i think of it so do what you need to do to make your self feel better about the build

 

As stated before in this thread, considering you are retaining your cast pistons, you need to have your oil squirters. Having your cast pistons ceramic coated isn't going to yield the same characteristics as a forged piston.

An LS block doesn't have oil squirters however the rod has an oil gallary that aids in cooling the oem piston.

 

can you machine the crank to work with squirter's?

it would be easier and cheaper to modify the squirters
