I thought I would document the effort to put 617a piston cooling Squirters in a 616 for a turbo build.
I questioned if there was enough wall thickness in the block to tolerate the invasive modification, but after seeing a video of someone else doing it, I an not as concerned lol. I am still going to check the thickness after machining to know where it is at. I am using a junk block as a test. Not pleased with how the cutter performed... I'm going to try a different type of insert and see if it is any happier.
I am also going to have to make up some shims to raise the squirter up to the proper height as the distance from the bottom of the block and the base of the cylinders is greater then the distance from the bottom of the block to the squirter pads on a 617a
