why case savers? Thats for the problems with 2.7. Why not get a set of the brial cylinders for better cooling? The E didnt have larger throats than T. Better money would be to change the crank and rods to 2.4.

There is an option to doing the piston squirters.
If you "notch" the big ends of the con rods...you get about the same effect. It involves cutting or grinding a very shallow notch in both sides of the con rod at the big end so that oil will escape more at that position than all around...and be thrown up towards the piston. I believe there is a video on this site about it. Cheaper than squirters...and you might be able to do it yourself with a hand grinder. Bob
