in the scheme of things yeah, but its not like it was only a couple of hundred, or taking it easy and it happened.

Just a question. 

You removed the notch and turned the squirters so they don't hit the piston. All well there. 

Isn't the notch there to make sure the hole in the banjo bolt and the oil feed hole in the squirter align? Doesn't turning the squirter mean these two won't align now and there will be no oil flow through the squirter?

It's been a looooooong while since I did this, but...

No, from memory there's a feed ring around the inside of the squirter.

Otherwise,  they would have to be too precise when machining the threads in the block, and the banjo bolts themselves.
