I've seen this on the Courtney site showing the z20leh block with squirter bolted in as opposed to drilled into the main journal.

is this something that can be done to and XE/late LET block i.e. into the side of the block instead of the journal?

Also wanted to know who can put my squirters in, i have BMW M5 ones and need them doing in or around the Midlands area.

Providing you can identify the oil gallery properly, and of course clean it out ok afterwards, I dont see why that cant be done to a LET block, im sure there is oil in about the same place.

need to check the block, is not the same positon was show on
which engine are those from ? E36 318iS look similar but not the same. also, do these have a pressure valve inside so they only squirt when high pressure?

those courtney ones look like vw diesel squirters too so easy to buy
Do you know if they are dealer jobbie?

cheers guys.

im coming up to this stage with my LET, ive got my block on the stand ill have a look. ive even bought the squirters new to do the drilling the mains way but a cross flow engineer i know thinks its a bad idea. He said that the force of when on the exaust/inlet stroke the piston gets throw up the bore then yanked back and when this happens the crank gets an upward force that hard, and he showed me the upper shell (the one thats over the drilled part) the pressure has pressed an imprint of the lines in the block on the back of the shell when it got first machined when new, so he thinks they could break up basically.
