Help

Mechanic just rang me there said he has my bottom end just finished but the forged pistons aren't clearing the oil squirters does anybody know why?? Is this common is there a quick fix?? Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Keith rang me and I filled him in on what i reckon

Can notch a small piece out of bottom of each piston, or you could get the block machined and sit the squirters down deeper in there holes.. are the cossie pistons???

I wouldn't go "notching" anything out of your pistons, this could create a weight imbalance that would lead to an engine failure at high RPM.

I'm snappin boys could nearly smell de boost gonna hav ta change the pistons and thanks for takin the time ta ring ur pal phil sorry to annoy ya in a Saturday

and thanks ken but it's new pistons.... There mahle by the way....

If this is not a direct link, my bad
Page 7, about half way down, same problem with RCM OMEGA pistons

Notching the pistons is not a problem as long as its not a big notch and the 4 pistons are weighed. other alternative is to sit the squirters lower into their holes, think i would go with that option,as its only a bit of drilling and tapping.
