Piston cooling jet

A piston cooling jet comprising:

• a housing having an interior chamber that is configured to receive a fluid from an external source;
• the housing also having a cantilevered beam with a ball on an outer end of the cantilevered beam, the cantilevered beam and the ball positioned to control a rate at which the fluid enters into the interior chamber of the housing;
• a conduit coupled with the housing to provide a single body, and fluidly coupled with the interior chamber, the conduit having a bent shape to direct the fluid from the interior chamber of the housing toward an underside of an engine piston head;
• and
• a flow straightening nozzle coupled with the conduit and positioned to straighten flow of the fluid exiting from the conduit via the flow straightening nozzle toward the underside of the engine piston head, the flow straightening nozzle having internal intersecting walls that intersect along a direction of the flow of the fluid in the conduit and out of the flow straightening nozzle.
