Is the 150 dollar bill worth it? Would I need an external oil-cooler for sure since the oil would be hotter than normal without piston squirters?

911 squirters are often replaced as a peace-of-mind repair. AFAIK, the factory installed 911 squirters are pressed in from the bearing side so removal is just a matter or tapping them back out. The quick retrofit version is to dril from the case register, tap them in and peen them over. But you should be able to tap them out with a rod inserted from the bearing side of the hole.
I'll be doing it the factory way which leaves a little seat material to keep the squirters from popping out. |

Not sure about this Mark, from the bearing side these are probably over 2" down their bore. I would say the factory pressed in from the cylinder side and gave them a peen for good measure. John |

John The one case half it's impossible to go from the backside and the passages don't go from the bearings, the case half stud holes doubles as oil galleys, that's where they are fed from. They are barely pressed in if at all, the peen does it all. You just drill the peens off and jam a screw in and a small slide hammer then pop it out easy-peasy. Drop the new one in and three new peens lock it in. BUT if they are working fine I see absolutely no reason to replace them, other than to waste money. Also you can easily test them to see if they are working proper. BTDT |
