Thread: Ve oil squirters

A few things have happen and I wanted to see if anyone has blocked off the oil SQUIRTERS on a VE/DET Im currently building a high comp DE and I notch 2 Pistons on the wrong side and I broke off 2 SQUIRTERS so I have decided to block them off, I was originally going to use a de block with no SQUIRTERS but the block had substantial detonation damage so I picked up a VE block from a buddy for free so I don't think blocking them off should be a problem would it the car will only see road on weekends for test and tunes at the track ITS NOT A daily driven car! Any suggestions on what to use to block them off would be appreciated

what rods are you using?

Manley h beams

then you definitely need to run the squirters then.

I know I did my research and seen that I know the block has SQUIRTERS but the car will never see no more than 5-10 miles on the track, my question is would it be kosher to block them off? Honda boys do it all the time hell I might order a golden eagle kit to see if it's the same bolt 😂😭

there's a post thats been deleted some how on that thread. ben fenner sited a post from snickers made ages ago, about motors he's seen blown up because there was no cooling oil getting to the underside on a piston. you need either the oil squirters or the genuine rod oil squirters

you will be fine. run that shit

Bes blocked them off on his motor recently. I'm going to be doing the same as well.

I should have asked him how he did it finding the spacers was a PITA but I got the green light from my machine shop about blocking them off he said they aren't needed like everyone is making them out to seem and I trust him with anything motor wise the guy is a GURU lol post pictures I want to see what other ways to do it I might build a VE soon as well
