    G54B Engine Block Question

    I'm trying to figure out what this is and where I can get a new one? It appears to have a very tiny little hole. This is the front of the engine block. Also, which side do the piston rods orient when installing them to the pistons? I know the pistons have an "arrow like mark" indicating the direction in which the pistons are to be installed in the engine block. Any help is well appreciated.

    I figured out it's a timing chain oil squirter. Does anyone happen to have a part # for it to try and source it?

    Is that photo you posted from another engine (not yours)? Or if that is yours, you do have that oil squirter present, so what's the problem you're having with it?

    The engine machine shop that last built my engine block did a horrible job. Sealant on the headgasket, poor quality pistons, leaks everywhere. Poor oil pressure. Headgasket failure. Now I'm fixing all their mistakes and rebuilding the engine myself. The problem is that they badly gouged the surface where the oil pump bolts onto. Now it made sense why the oil pressure light would take ages to go off. Before it came off instantly. So I welded up the gouges and now I need to have that surface, resurfaced. The only thing getting in the way is the timing chain oil squirter. I tried pulling it out, but failed. Now the only solution is to drill it out and press on a new timing chain oil nozzle after it gets resurfaced.
