If that was the real reason then it would need squirters on all cylinders, not just 5&6. What I'm trying to get at here is GM discovered a cooling problem with this engine in just those cylinders. The squirter is their cheapest/easiest fix for it. Removing it without any other cooling system mods may be asking for trouble. I understand that you need more oil volume. I'm just wondering if you thought about what would happen if you remove that squirter.

7500 will be an absolute redline for this motor. I dont intend to shift any higher than 7200 (which should fit the torque/power curve of my cam grind beautifully).
Im running 122# comp-cams springs on stock 3500 valves w/ .523 max lift intake and exhaust. Im using Crower cromoly steel Rollr-rockers and hardened push-rods.
The vote seems unanimous that I can get away with this on hydro lifters. Does anyone have any high-rpm dyno read-outs that I can glance at? If its do-"able", then Id rather run hydro tappets.
P.S. Forced_Firebird spoke briefly about it, but how does one modify a roller hydro tappet for high rpms.?Took a break from working on the car. Got some better tools, got a better shop, got a better job... Its time to burn metal!Comment
