Featured is a cylinder wall oil delivery system for a reciprocating engine having at least one cylinder and at least one piston movably received in the cylinder as well as a reciprocating engine embodying such a cylinder wall oil delivery system. Such an oil delivery system includes a squirter that is fixably arranged in each cylinder so that oil is directed therefrom to two different areas of the cylinder wall. The squirter includes a first nozzle being orientated so the oil is directed to one of the two cylinder wall areas and a second nozzle being orientated so the oil is directed to the other of two cylinder wall areas. In particular embodiments, the squirter is arranged so the oil targets the piston skirt thrust and anti-thrust travel areas of the cylinder wall and so as to regulate the oil flow from each nozzle. |
