Short and simple. Motor purrs like a kitten and has perfect compression. However.....
Here is what I found upon inspecting my motor (while doing timing chain job)
The little arm on the side of the oil squirter broke off, the oil squirter itself is fine and has not been damaged. I have found the broke piece. Cylinders look fine. This only happened on cylinder #2.
Does this arm just hold it in place? or does it perform an actual duty? To me it looks as if it just holds it in place ( has a nipple that goes into a hole)
Should I replace? Where can I find another? and what tool is used to remove it?
