All great points, I too worried about how good the staking might be but have absolute confidence in the Loctite anyway . I think it was 241 engineering adhesive but cannot remember. The surface area it is working over is massive compared to the negligible load imparted by the oil. Looking forward a different fixing method may be an option which may if neccesary allow routine replacement . It may be possible to fit a small grub screw into the web instead of a collar at the top ? Those who do this frequently may come up with something but the diameter must be sealed to the bore to prevent a loss of oil pressure methinks.

I have a 2.2 on the bench now which appears to have had squirters retro fitted they are all glued in with no evidence of stakiing . They all seem very secure and have cleary seen some time in the engine with no problem , they all washed clear though so I'm not replacing.

Comments about diffrent sizes are true there are diffrent types listed by porsche for various engines the key is get the right ones and then remove the old ones .

I wonder if any alternative manufactures are out there for the squirters since they are common in many other engines and the OEM ones are very expensive.
