k...here it goes....i was reading in a search that if i use foreged rods and pistons theres no need to worry about the lack of oil squirters in the ls block...is this true?
will the engine last along time if i go this route and get forged internal? also would i have to use a block girdle on the ls/v?

 

dang...ive searched i just want a second opinion

 

Yes this is true, since the aftermarket forged pistons have better cooling characteristics there is no need for the oil squirter. This is why i reccomend ls/vtec projects to use Forged pistons, not the oem cast ones.

 

yes
yes
no

 

so its yes on the internals and no on the block girdle

 

you can buy probe racing forged pistons that fit on stock LS rods from IB
