Claim 14:
15. A method of spraying oil comprising:
providing an oil spray nozzle comprising;
a first body portion having a leading edge on a side thereof;
a first shim having a leading edge corresponding to the leading edge of the first body portion, the leading edge of the first shim having a plurality of alternating teeth and cavities defined therein;
a second body portion having a leading edge corresponding to the leading edges of the first body portion and first shim;
a second shim having a leading edge corresponding to the leading edges of the first and second body portions and first shim, the second shim further defining an oil cavity therein;
an oil aperture defined through the first body portion, first shim, and second body portion and aligned with the oil cavity defined in the second shim; and
an oil tube disposed through the oil aperture and oil cavity operable to deliver oil into an interior of the nozzle;
wherein the leading edges of the first and second body portions and first and second shims further define an oil edge of the nozzle and wherein the cavities defined in the leading edge of the first shim overlap with the oil cavity defined in the second shim to direct oil from the oil tube to the oil edge of the nozzle;

delivering oil through the oil tube disposed in the oil aperture defined in the oil spray nozzle into the interior of the spray nozzle;
filling the oil cavity defined in the second shim with oil;
transferring oil from the oil cavity into a series of the cavities defined in the leading edge of the first shim that at least partially overlap the oil cavity of the second shim;
driving the oil out of the cavities along a serrated leading edge of a body of the oil spray nozzle via pressurized air; and
causing oil to spray from the oil spray nozzle to a location remote therefrom.
