The oil squirters squirt oil onto the bottom side of the pistons to keep them cool. They are definitly necessary, and you definitly need to reinstall them or else we could hear about another KABOOM after you fire the beast up. Get er' done and make them work. You may have a bur on the edge where the squirters go into, and you may have to clean it off.

Dont rip them out!! Put them back in. I would hate to see your new build go bad. Keep them pistons cool! Especially now with your higher compression.

You could leave them out, but then your pistons would get stupidly hot and you would only be able to run like 5 degrees of timing without getting knock. Up to you...

We are going even further and adding extra oilers to my engine so there is never a chance of oil not being every where all the time even under crazy acceleration.
