Piston Cooling Nozzle Spray
Positioning
Refer to Figure 6-16.
The piston cooling oil spray location on the
underside of the piston is important; it ensures
adequate heat dissipation from the piston and
makes certain that the crankshaft counterweights
of the connecting rods do not strike the nozzles.
Always replace a badly deformed spray nozzle.
Do not attempt to realign it. Precise targeting is
necessary to adequately cool the piston crown.
For ease of installation and to reduce the amount
of crankshaft rotation needed to facilitate access
to the spray nozzles, install the spray nozzles in
the following order: cylinders 1 and 6, 5 and 2, 3
and 4.
