COOL DOWN WITH KATECH PERFORMANCE GEN 4 LS PISTON SQUIRTERS
CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Overheated pistons can be detrimental in high output racing applications, which is why Katech Performance has introduced its new Gen 4 LS Piston Squirters – piston cooling jets that target oil at the underside of the piston to lower temperatures and improve piston life.
Developed for Katech’s “Track Attack” LS7 engine, the Piston Squirter uses a pressure-actuated check valve to minimize oil flow through the jet at idle and maintain adequate engine oil pressure. The product is ideal for high output, high temperature applications: racing vehicles, engines with dry sump systems, and supercharged or turbocharged applications.
“Piston squirters have been utilized in racing for years to keep engines in optimal running condition,” said Caleb Newman, vice president, director aftermarket operations, Katech Performance. “Katech’s Gen 4 LS Piston Squirters offer amateur and professional racers using the LS7 – or any Gen 4 GM V8 – additional peace of mind and security for engine durability.”
The Piston Squirter is designed to fit with production LS7 titanium rods without modification, except for the machining required to install the squirters and piston skirt notching (depending on the piston).
Because some engines may require additional oil pump capacity to supply the volume and pressure needed for the squirters, a different oil pressure pump may be required.
Katech supplies a machining print with this product and also offers machining services to install the Piston Squirters into any Gen 4 General Motors V8 (LS2, LS3 and LS7). For more information or to request a catalog, call 866-KATECH1 or visit Katech Performance online at www.katechengines.com.

Katech Inc. was founded on the need to provide responsive service and skills to factory race efforts in all forms of racing, including the SCCA SPEED World Challenge GT, NASCAR and the American Le Mans Series. Today, Katech is an industrial leader in advanced racing and high-performance engine development, manufacturing, testing and assembly, and offers support services for the professional racer including boring, honing, fabrication, welding and prototype parts development.
