Squirterizational mod RENTAL KIT for INCREASED PERFORMANCE

Got the crank bolt yesterday.... Started drilling last night on the block, that went good. However when attempting to use the counter bore bit on the extension using the two small set screws,(witch one is stripped out), when tightening down the set screws to secure the bit, it pushes the bit off center within the extension. Basically it like trying to drill with a slightly bent drill bit. It would be nice if the extension had the set screws off set from each other rather than on the same side. that way I could get the bit perfectly centered within the extension when tightening the set screws. It is impossible for me counter bore the block at this time. I'm off to wood craft today to look for a extension that will secure the counter bore without the slight offset I'm getting with the extension within the kit. I'll post a pic of what I'm talking about shortly.. Any help would be great if I'm doing something wrong.....

What size is the bit? Can a collet be had? Also, there is no point in putting set screws opposing each other. If an application requires more than one set screw, two are used 90 degrees from each other. The reason being that due to static equilibrium, there is already a reaction force opposing the set screw, so adding another one across from it wont increase it's bite.
 
Done and Done. I ending up cutting some strips from a aluminum can to use as shims inside the extension.(still in the extension). I cut half round strips and put them on the opposite side of the set screws inside the extension. After tightening the set screws, the counter bore was much more centered. There are some extra set screws inside with the counter bore...Once you do the first one it goes quick, took me about an hour to do them all.
 
Now available with the kit or separately is a 3/4" NPT tap and 59/64" drill bit for machining the block for a turbo oil return fitting.

A drill with a 1/2" chuck is needed for the bit.

Deposit is $50.

3/4 NPT tap & 59/64" drill is back in Cali.

Tap/Drill combo works good.

My block did NOT cut like butter. Go slow and use lots of cutting fluid.

I opted to go far enough to get my fitting in, and then used a carbide burr to open up the back side to the same diameter as the inside of the fitting and round it out along the edges. That should help keep the flow more laminar. Just a thought.:)

left my machinist a message today. Idk what the heck is taking so long.

Take him the kit, I'm sure he can figure it out.

Better to make the metal filings before it's hot tanked anyway.
 
I'm seriously interested in doing this to my block since the bottom end has to come apart anyways.

What's the protocol for getting in line? What does a set of squirters typically run from a good source(which would be)? Sorry if it's been answered before, I read the first few pages and figured they'd be in the stickied OP but couldn't find them!

You just got in the queue line by posting your interest in the thread, but I believe there's two in front of you.
