I don't know where the ball might have gone......to the oil pan if you're lucky.

The permatex gray is fine.

well thats what i'am thinking do you think it will come out with oil changes? had the oil changed just before I tore it apart also the connection on the ipr is facing towards the front of the engine should I twist it to the back or is it ok facing the front? looks like it will be in the way of the intake and again many thanks to all you guys I can't tell you how much I have learned here.

At some point there is a machine port in the pump that was being sealed with a ball bearing for a plug. The ball would pop out rendering the pump "useless". It could be repaired by tapping the hole for a plug.

Yes, it is on 03/04 model engines.

Thanks cheezit thats what I needed to know if I can rotate it with out hurting anything it would hit the intake the way it is now. could'nt have done this job with out the help of the forum and all the great info on here. Hope I don't find the ball the hard way hopefully it is in the pan and stays there or comes out during oil changes.
