Went to a engine workshop yesterday, too see about installing oil squirters.
I was thinking they could somehow leave the crank etc in and still get the drill in the right places. Oh no....got to take the crank out, pistons + rods out, then of course the head has to come off to reinstall the pistons, and the oil galleries need flushing out (thought maybe a clever vacuum cleaner adaptor might do that) but of course they don't want me coming back saying my engine is ruined because some swarf ended up in a oil channel and now my engine is an anchor. Going to those lengths I may as well rebuild it while I'm at it!
So anyway I'm not going to bother with the squirters. Just going with the water injection and EGT monitoring. And boost to keep things lean, provided it doesn't choke things up with the small turbine.....
