You guys got me curious about these oil squirters, so I pulled one out. It has a spring loaded one way valve inside that takes some pressure to open. I wonder if they only spray when the oil pressure rises or if they spray all the time even at idle. When I spray a little air through it it looks exactly like nitrous being purged.

There is a set minimum to open, like 27 psi. Will have to look in the service manual for the exact pressure.

Here you go.

JantzenOKC · 10-17-2015, 12:48 PM

Good info, thanks. Sucks about last night felt like a good night for racing.

Been doing a little further inspection, and looks like I had a bent rod in #6. That's why one side of the ring lands were clean and the other side was all black. Here's a picture. The other 4 rods seem to be good and straight. I'm really not sure how it got bent.

Checking deck height, with stock rods the piston seems to be .014" in the hole. I could be off, I need to check the other cylinders and compare them all.

And here's my ghetto setup to cc the heads. Best I can tell so far is they have a 60cc chamber. Gonna double and triple check though.

I guess I'll copy off MagnumForce and show all my intake valves as well. This is with 37,000 miles on the car. Could be better could be worse.

#1, #2, and #3

JantzenOKC · 10-24-2015, 03:17 PM

#4, #5, and #6

JantzenOKC · 10-25-2015, 08:38 PM

I'll just leave these here...

HP Turbine · 10-25-2015, 08:52 PM

nice rods!

They really are pretty! It's a shame they will never be seen. I need to do some more checking but so far it looks like there are zero clearance issues. I used a die grinder and ground out the taper part of one of the stock pistons so I could test fit them. I was worried since they are so beefy compared to the stock rods, but there is tons of clearance. I still need to buy some ARP2000 rod bolts and then have them resized on the big end with the bolts installed. But this is a big piece to the build, big thanks to Jason! Him and these rods are what pushed me into building a motor and going all out instead of just throwing a used motor in it and dialing the boost back to 12. Which I could have done and been back on the road already... But hopefully the wait and money will be worth it and I'll have one bada$$ V6.

Is that with or without using a catch can? IF with, what mileage when installed?
