oil squirters?

[rwenzek94]

so i was working on my engine today because i just got the block back from the machine shop today, as im looking at the front of the block i notice something that looked to me as a bolt with the head broken off. so being me, my first instinct was to grab some vice grips and try to work it out. no luck. then i go to work and find out it was a oil squiter....anybody know anything about these????

on the 2.6 it oils the timing chain - did you move it at all or reposition it? If you did put it back or you will fry the timing chain.

i ordered a new one. the other one was mangled. there IS only one right? how do i replace them?

[pennyman1]

have no idea - never removed one. They were prone to plug up from sludge when people didn't change their oil every 3k miles in these motors - thats why they got a bad rap in caravans and k cars.

well i suppose i should check ALLDATA

[rwenzek94]

yea. first issue was finding a replacment but my sources came through on that one. now i gotta find out to replace it haha

[rwenzek94]

well the old one is out. and for the ones planning on a rebuilt... dont replace this unless you have too. its a total pain to get out
