I'm getting my bottom end built soon and picked up a shortblock core for real cheap, however I don't know if it comes the oil squirters. Wanted to know if it's still okay to run without them? I've got an 2008 (for reference). I guess it's kinda like running a 1st gen block on a 2nd gen ecu.

Are you balancing the block?

That_Kid_Ju

Yes. Gonna use the ati balancer (deleting balance shafts).

You'll be fine Julian

Was worried about the '08 ecu and if it'd not like the block (Camry '02-'05 I think). Would an '07-'10 ecu still run an '05-'06 block, in general?

paul_dezod

Mechanically speaking, the ECU doesn't know what hardware with respect to oil is there. Nor what kind of oil, viscosity or cleanliness.

As always, I bow to the car guru! Thanks Paul!

Well, I don't know about all that, just experience has taught me well..Let's leave it at that.

I always thought all the 07-10 2azfe have oil squirters

paul_dezod

For the tC, yes this is true. However, the Camry's years where different on the squirter change over.

(experience)*(knowledge)^(kindness)=Paul... Man I cant wait for physics to be over. lol

When I hydro locked the engine I wondered the same thing about the replacement. I never got around to checking the block serial codes but if it doesn't have squirters I would never know the difference.

Thanks guys! I mean, I am just a student to the game like yourselves except I get to indulge in it everyday of every hour. So by exposure, I am more well versed.
