you dont really need them. b18a ls motors dont have them, and they work just fine. but the plug kit cost money. last time I checked www.theoldone.com
they had the plug kit

Re: oil squirters
 

for any reason they were mounted.. non vtec and vtec engines are diferents.. work differents..so..i would not compare both..i see more obvios if you run with forget pistons ..

I've revved stock geometry LS bottom ends to 10K, no squirters needed. They are champs.

Re: oil squirters
 

Oil flies around inside the engine. That's why they make crank scrapers. Even with a crank scraper you get plenty of lubrication in the bores.

Here's a good reason to ditch the squirters...my friend Brian has a 92 gsr, had a stock b17a1 in it with some bolt on goodies but nothing major. He called me up one day saying his rings were shot and he was blowing clouds of smoke out the back, that sucks but whatever...it happens and he has no luck with Honda's. He took the motor out, sent it to a local machine shop for a rebuild. Guy building the motor calls him back and said he found out why his engine was smoking...broken oil squirter pissing on the side of one of the pistons. He said he compression tested the motor before disassembly and it was still in spec. All that trouble for one pos oil squirter. :P

I'm not 100% sure but if your forged with iron sleeves you dont need them, but I built my H22A fully and I decided to have a guy custom build a set mocked off mine but have the tubing larger and with a "injector stlye" spray to them. I didnt believe what he was talking about till he had them made and hooked to a pressurized hydraulic system and when they sprayed it was a fine mist that shot about 2 feet. So I put them in but not sure how they act within a pressurized block. No so far no smoking or scarring on the sleeves. I had to pull the head to pull some debree out of the chambers"------- leaves" Thats what I get for running open intake.
