suggestion along these lines (and a question too, for $#!ts and giggles) How close does the nozzle have to be, to actually touching the gears (of course without actually touching!!!) to direct a suitable stream of oil to those gears? I have an idea..... I ain't sayin it's a "good" idea, but its an idea. How bout that 45* NPT elbow with a nozzle-jet from something like a fertilizer sprayer threaded into THAT???? the way some of those spray, I'm thinking you only gotta aim "close" to accomplish what you are going for? I mean that oil will be pressurized after all.... we used similar stainless nozzles, as a water spray cooling setup in my millwright days at the old steel mill.
Those type of nozzles are available with different orifice sizes, and spray at different angles, and such.... Im thinking a 30* cone, "kinda close" to the target area, should be plenty.
