I'm sure there must be info out there on this, but I'm not finding anything.
(this is a 4G93 block shown btw)
I recently discovered my 7 bolt stock oil squirters are stuck open which means it's time for a rebuild. Rather than build that block, I figured I would just build a spare split thrust block I have. Removing the stock 2G squirters and blocking them off is easy enough. Having a machine shop do the work to put EVO style squirters in is another thing. I assume others have done this, but I'm coming up empty. If I knew of a DSM machine shop near me, I'm sure they'd know what to do, but I will likely need to provide them some instructions.
I'm sure a competent machine shop could do this with a few instructions. The oil passage is on the exhaust side of the DSM block (intake on EVO) and it needs to be threaded for the banjo bolts with a dowl hole for the squirter. Are there any critical dimensions that I should be aware of? Are there any issues to be concerned with?
And to answer the question of why I don't just run the stock 2G squirters; I just don't trust them. I have to rebuild a motor simply because they are stuck open. To remove and replace them, it's a full tear down. I might as well "upgrade" while I'm in there.
