hey all, the last person to take my motor apart stripped one of the squirter holes, I am reading about deleting them, does anyone have an experience with this? i have forged internals. For what its worth i drive the car a pretty fair amount, it revs at 9k and I have a type R transmission.

 

golden eagle block off kit just installed mine 8lbs TQ and use loctite as for the stripped one your gonna have to retap it , dont get metal shavings everywhere

 

and they're only 12 bucks. I have them myself. Love 'em.

 

any issues known with longevity? any issues on long drives etc?

 

Nope. None. Especially since you have forged internals. Their purpose is only to cool the cast (lower cast forged, however you want to call it) pistons.

If people run LS/VTECs for years without issues, not having the squirters is fine.

 

would it hurt to run 3 without 1...id just assume tap the hole and put a bolt in it tomorrow as opposed to waiting on golden eagle

 

Just get the golden eagle. What's 3 days? Stay consistent. its being impatient that causes problems in the future

 

one of mine broke off too, but my is by the crank like if you were to look through the cylinder bore from the top of the block. it broke of from rod knock, could that one squirter be replaced?

 

i'll wait the 3 days...good advice, thank you

 

Or will it hurt to run one less squirter?
