Huge problem, piston oil squirters interference
My machine shop just called me and said my pistons are hitting the piston oil squirters. I see ZZP have different oil squirters that may provide adequate clearance but I don't know much about them. Does anybody know of some piston squirters that will clear aftermarket pistons in a 2.2 crank, rods, and pistons in an LSJ block?
Will LNF squirters fit the LSJ block? They are tubular and can be bent some for maybe enough clearance if I can use them.

Talked with the machine shop and the new plan is to order the LNF gen 2 squirters which have a tube instead of solid cast and we are going to try and from the tubes out of the way. They are ordering them through the dealers so can have them by tomorrow afternoon and they still think they will be able to get it completed by this weekend.

Does anyone know the part number for an LEA Ecotec piston oil squirter? I talked to Jeffery and he indicated that he used these for more piston clearance and I was wanting to look them up and see how they differed from the LNF squirters PN:12596230
I think I found the LEA piston oiler's part number:12641084 But I can't find any pictures of it or anything anywhere. Definitely seems to be less commonly available than the LNF squirters but am still very interested in seeing the differences if anyone has the means.

Same issue with LNF, please help
I have a 2008 cobalt ss with the wiseco pistons. I just bought it off a guy and was going through the motor and re sealing things while I had it out (big turbo upgrade) when I pulled the oil pan I heard some rattling and out fell two oil squirters. Clearly that an issue. I bought the new oil squirters and was wondering if anyone had dealt with the clearance issuers before. And how they got it done exactly?
