Title: Oil spray nozzles
Post by: phoebus on May 06, 2013, 10:53:56 AM

I'm doing a rebuild on a 91 M42 and I noticed that the block didn't have the oil spray nozzles down in the block. I think I recall seeing them in my last block. Does anyone know or have experience with this?

It should still have the piston oil squirters! Look on the crank mains.

The squirter is on the top of the main bearing support. Its the silver shiny thing on the right hand side of the photo
