oil squinters
has anyone ever thought of putting oil squinters on a chevy V8.
I was helping put a inport togeter and was thinking some nice cool oil sprayed on the bottom of piston could help alot
If you could find a passage way right after the oil cooler comes back to the block.
I think it would need to have some kind of a valve that opens at like 10-15 #

Yep...one of those little engine building "secrets" not many people talk about. Very easy to do, and very effective at cooling the pistons, especially in forced induction or nitrous applicaitons. 
If you're interested, you can get the kit, including the jig and drill bit, from http://www.cvproducts.com - a primary supplier to all the Nascar teams.

Yes, I have them on my engine, using the kit/system from CV Products.
As I alluded to earlier, alot of racers use do this, expecially forced induction and nitrous racers in NMCA/NSCA and NMRA, but it's not mentioned much.
This mod is also helpful in insuring good lubrication to the wrist pins and cylinder walls when used with restricted top ends, plugged lifter valleys etc, since they depend on splash oiling for their lubrication. You wnat to be careful where you direct it though, too much oil on the cylinder walls is not good. If you direct the oil jet right it the underside of the piston, it'll work well, you don't want to spray the cylinder walls down.

They're called "piston dome oilers", they may not be online, but it's in their catalog. The one I used is PN: BLP3600. 800-448-1223, ext 194. Darryl Hunter is my rep and he can help you out with it. Get a copy of their catalog too, very interesting stuff in their that all the Nascar teams use. They are often also used when running alot of crancase vacuum as the high vacuum will suck the oil out of the wrist pins, etc .
