That is correct. Very good question too, because it also answers Anthony's question too, regarding whether or not he installed the seal backwards. The answer to which is NO. Funny he mentions the STC breaking the rear cover. I too, have found myself into this very scenario needing to replace that rear cover for that very reason.

I can't read this for nothing
Rear cover number
It's cool that they changed the crush washers. I think the old ones were just copper. These have a rubber coating on them. Btw. Banjo bolts
I have been carrying the stand pipe on the left around for about 200 k mi. Bows a good time to change it out I guess
It hasn't looked like this in a long time
It's time to mask n paint
I like this copper color
Take that cummins guys
Holy crap that's a lot of red. Not so sure bout it.
I'm thinking about masking and painting the heads blue. The rocker boxes will be copper. Waitin on the red to dry

You know Anthony, in reading through this thread it got me to thinking about the colour I was going to paint my engine. And I decided long ago, that I was going to paint mine with four to five coats of Navistar's DT466 blue when I get my engine out and apart, once the day arrives.

I'll be brutally honest with you Anthony. I think your colour scheme looks nothing short of resembling the colours of those cheap Chinese toys you buy from the flea market, but whatever floats your boat. But I do applaud your efforts and the amount of hard work you have put into your 6.0L build. I don't think I've come across anyone who has gone in this deep as you have, and that's why I've been following this thread very closely.
Are you still actually crazy enough to be thinking of driving your truck all the way up to my next of the woods for me to drive your finished product? BTW, I do know how to drive a manual transmission equipped vehicle in case you're wondering. (Believe it or not, there are some customers who are dumb enough to ask)
