Hey, I was wondering if i eliminated my oil squirters, would i run into any crazy problems. I have done this on honda engines, would it be the same on the ka to cut down on mass the rotating assembly has on it.

If you're talking about the piston oil squirters, Then no, it's not a good idea to eliminate them.First off, they don't add to rotating mass.Second, they help lubricate and cool the pistons and connecting rods.

Even if you are using pistons with long skirts, I would notch the skirts before i lay a hand on the oil squirters.
