There are the types of squirter's that go under the main bearings, that cause no clearance issues what so ever. Just a bit of machining / drilling and tapping.

Yea, that's just a simple drilling through the main web. There are DIY kits for those too.

That said...no idea what these "M Garage" squirters are like and don't think there has been any detail offered on them ?

Those are the ones that I bought. The Get M Garage squirters can work with any stroke/piston. There is a good YouTube video that a guy did putting them in. Brian Tooley also has a brief video on them as well.

I do wish there was some more reviews and long term reliability info on them. But I’m going to give them a shot anyway. Seems like a nice concept.

It all depends on your build and what you're trying to accomplish. If your running looser bearing clearances, and thicker oil, then I could see there being a potential oil flow / volume issue requiring an oil pump that cant flow enough volume to keep things lubricated. Especially if you have lifters with axel oiling thus exasperating the issue of oil flow. I all depends on what you're trying to do
I did purchase the high volume / high pressure Melling oil pump. For this very reason. I’m thinking I’ll likely have to try a few different weight oils once the squirters and high volume/pressure pump are in to get it right.

Which pump did you go with?
