# Nope, it's a constant squirt. Squirting is caused by constant oil pressure going through a small diameter hole. Smaller opening = more velocity n/m

: is there something thatcontrols the amount of oil that is squirted at a certain time or is it just intermitnent??

- Yes, and they are small enough to allow for a difference in pressure between the Inlet (pickup side) and the outlet ("squirting" side). nm Albert ('97gxe) 06:39:28 9/17/2002 (0)
- Damn thats simple, but effective...is this a common practice on most/some cars?? nm DA-MAX (91 GXE) 21:51:48 9/16/2002 (5)

  - Yup... oil squirters are used in various forms for lubricating camshaft and crank bearings, and I know VE's have oil jets here and there n/m RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) 21:59:47 9/16/2002 (0)
  - I would say on "most" but probably not all factory turbo cars n/m MIKE (93VE) 21:59:04 9/16/2002 (0)
