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?

Notching the rods is simple and effective.

Notching the rods is simple and effective. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Takes about 2 minutes per rod with a fine triangle file. Oil is lazy just like air and will take the path of least resistance. Give it a pathway and you'll have a cheap and effective stream of oil at the base of your piston. Basically you're funneling the oil that would otherwise splash off the rod from the rod bearing and directing a portion of that splash where you want it at the piston crown. |

directing a portion of that splash where you want it at the piston crown. But I still highly doubt this comes out as a stream. I suspect this increases the amount of oil being slung by the crank, which increases the amount of oil hitting the back of the piston. |
