They are definitely the squirt type, not splash. If your block is a
turbo block, it will have them or at least have the holes for them. If
not, you can't have squirters in the engine as it is a feature of the
manufacture of the block. Also, the turbo pistons are notched in the
skirt to as not to collide with the squirters. The crankshaft is
induction hardened on journal #2 (you can easily see the difference in
color of the metal) and the head will have sodium filled exhaust
valves. Any late model head will do, I think.
