Piston Sprayers
I would appreciate hearing pros and cons for using piston sprayers.The cranks are 4.75,rods 6.635,oil pump is 5stage,suction is 10 inches,valve sring oilers and .006 clearance on coated pistons.Also, the wrist pins are DLCcoated.The rev limiters are 6,000 rpm.

Re: Piston Sprayers
I wish you would have posted yesterday I just delivered a block that we machined for oilers and roller cam bearings and 903 lifter bores I don't run them on the poker run engines and hardly ever on the race engines what I mostly run them on are the sprint car and stock car engines with small pin and rod packages and short pistons. If your running a dry sump I would go in that direction your going to see benefit in ring wear pin and rod bushing wear and also in extreme exhaust temp conditions in the 1500 to 1600 degrees it gives you protection. Good luck Laz Mesa

Re: Piston Sprayers
JE has come out with some new piston designs for blown applications that require the use of piston oilers for the pin area/ skirt area. They have found some power with this new design. We have also seen an increase in oil pans with oilers.

Re: Piston Sprayers
Laz,have you seen much pressure drop with needle cam bearings?How do you feel about lifter bushings?and,what about solid push rods? In case someone is considering piston oilers,you may want to ask laz before you do!

Laz spraying oil on the bottom of the piston must be for endurance race only motors ?
