During my 6 bolt rebuild my crank is hitting the oil squiters, what is the problem? I searched and the only answer I got was get them out of a evo. I need help asap
 
I have never seen this happen. More info is definitely needed here.
Are the squirters maybe bent wrong?
 
I had the same problem in my build, all I did was bend them over just a little bit untill they cleared the crank.
 
A picture is worth a 1000 words. May be one got bended on disassemble.
 
All I am doing is pretty much a basic rebuild, but I had the block bored so I had to pull squiters out for cleaning. I bought the block bare could the guy have possible sold me a 7 bolt block?
 
Anyone have any ideas? As soon as Ican figure this problem out crank is goin in and so is the pistons! :)
