Arias pistons hitting oil squirters

[YLD-CHLD]

Just interested if anyone else has come across this problem of the oil squirter hitting the piston at BDC?

I've just installed my first piston & it seems that it just hits the injector ,no.2 is worse, that was as far as i went, getting ready to machine the pistons to suite.

I would like to see approx 1mm clearance around the squirter, as it was they would have been tapping the skirts & the bottom side of the piston near the knuckle.

The clearance that Arias has supplied seems to be deep enough just 3-4mm offset forward to were they should be. :goddam:

Engine hadn't suffered any trouble in the bottom end,was pulled down due to a severley blown head gasket.

I've tried relocating the squirters,with the small amount of play that is available on the locating lug but can't seem to get enough clearance.

Rb26 standard size arias pistons 86mm

Standard RB26 rods

Any help would be appreciated.

Have a read of that thread, especially proengines reply on page two. I had exactly the same problem, proengines described why it happened and solutions to fix it.
