If you could drop and open your engine case, you should have no problem replacing the defective piston oil squirters. It took me days to decide to do it. Once a decision was made, it took less than a minute to drill the bad squirters out. The key is drilling the squirter/s out without touching the hole. Lastly, test them to make sure that they won't pop out under pressure.
See picture of the piston squirter that was drilled out from a 3.0 liter engine.
I could not have done it with confidence without the suggestions solicited from Bruce A. and Mike B., both expert engine rebuilders from the Southeast region.
