I guess the piston cracked it off, and the engine is out, have the oil squirter out but i circled the part that was cracked off.. was asking if it is reusable or do i need a new one, and if so are their any local stores that sell them? are all squirters the same?

tahnks-

Its reusable, but it would not lubricate where it should properly. I would either put up a wtb ad or just buy a new one.

If i do re-use this oil squirter, what will happen?
Other than it not lubricating the correct place, what will happen to the engine?

Im not interested in buying oil squirters.
My question was if i can use the oil squirter again, the other 3 are fine, but one is a bit cut off, and i threw that part away. It is currently in and im wondering if i need to take it apart, or if its fine if i dont beat on my car.

for 25$ i would just replace it. the oil squirters are there to cool down your piston/ lubricate your piston assembly.

Do you not have the engine apart to where you can replace it easily. I'll sell you all 4 of my squirters for 20 dollars shipped.

Don't be cheap, just replace it. It's cheaper to replace a $5-20 part than replacing an entire seized engine due to it. In addition the squirters are inside then engine, it's not like you can just replace it easily.

Get a used or new replacement one.
