I also expected the cooling channel to be like that; I've also already practiced pushing the wire through - so it's a complete cycle

. However, the pistons are no longer at my house; they were sent away for rework (making the taper in the Omega cavity PD-compatible, deepening the valve recesses by 0.5mm, re-milling the oil channels/openings, and closing the old injection openings); therefore, I can't check it live right now.
I have only ever seen oil spray nozzles in the "vertical" configuration. I somehow trust them more than the version from AJM

.

Fabian.
