Oil jets hitting Wiseco pistons?
I've been on car forums for several years now and never had to ask a question because I always find an answer somewhere from searching, but not this time. The title pretty much sums it up. I've found many forums with people asking this question but nothing came up on evom. I've already read countless threads on the controversy of deleting the oil jets but its not something I really want to do. But my main question that I couldn't seem to find from any other Evo owner, has anyone had this problem before?
They are brand new Wiseco stroker pistons, 1400HD for a 2.3l stroker. I have stock length Manley rods and the 100mm Manley forged crank.
I figured I would get dozens of hits on here with this question asked but nothing came up. I already emailed Wiseco but also wanted advice from you guys that have done similar builds. My only thought is that my pistons were on back order for 2 months and when they finally shipped them out the were the same part number but with AP (armor plate) at the end. Not sure that would effect anything or not? I know the majority of the evo builds on here use these exact piston so either I got the only bogus set that doesnt work or people just delete the oil jets.

Awesome! Thanks guys! Has this been discussed on here before? I searched for hours and couldn't find anything on evom besides the controversy of deleting them? If so, can someone link that to me please!

If anything, you should be putting bigger ones to cool more on a high output engine and support that with a higher volume oil pump. Screw the waste of 10-20 whp if it makes the engine be happy and live longer...
