For my 2.2T rebuild, I also had the machine work/squirters done as well as using a refreshed four-rib oil pump. From there I kinda went whole hog: 2.4 crank/rods, mod-S cams, 10.5:1 JEs, twin plug and a fender-mounted oil cooler. I did have a ground rule that I wanted to use the largest slip-fit cylinders possible without boring the spigots, so I chose to go with 87.5mm Nickies. (I waited until LN's annual sale to buy those.) Nickies run cooler than the iron and Biral cylinders. In my case the oil cooler was insurance for the high-compression/twin plug setup. LN also sells 85 and 86mm Nickies with 9.5:1 pistons, which would likely not require an external oil cooler. They are pricey, but I felt more confident using those over the AA Biral product.
