To plug or not to plug?

[Silverstrocker]

As i began the chore of building my strocker motor, i was told by a couple sources to block the oil squirters. the oil squirters as we know are there to cool the piston, well with a forged piston the cooling is not as important and blocking the oil squirters will give you added oil pressure helping with the crankwalk issue......what do you' ll think?

I would assemble the rotating assembly and check for any clearance issues. Not sure what pistons you have, but I have heard of some knocking the squirters off. I would think if there are no clearance issues I would put them in, other than that I would plug them up. Just my opinion. What pistons are you running?
