Oil Squirters on a block with a VVT head?
Quick question for you gais!
If I pull the oil squirters, is a 94-00 pump acceptable with a VVT head?
Or will I still run into the typical VVT oil pressure issues if I have no squirters?

If you are building a engine, why not use a 01+ pump? relatively cheap insurance.
I have a 01+ oil pump, 94 block with the squirters, VVT head, and I still can see movement of the VVT valve on the OP gauge. it drops the oil pressure about 10-15 psi but it is only momentary and remember that the transmitter is in the line that feeds the VVT actuator, so I feel confident that the oil going to the bottom end is effected much less.

Anytime.
With FM Pistons and Carillo rods, I'm pretty confident I have zero reason to want to risk anything in my build or to do a bunch of gay totally terrible things to my car just to save $150, 18psi.
As I said in a previous post, I'm going to be running the BE VVT OP. I will not be the guinea pig for this, so calm down bro!
I mean, if you are just jealous that hustler offered to pump my squirter, I'm sure he'll pump yours too
