Sorry, oil pump cover. It don't look good. I'll have some pics in a bit when I go out to the shop again.
I remember seeing pics of a oil pump that took on some roller needle bearings before here but can't find them now.
I am going to wait till I pull the water pump and see how that looks. Do these covers get cavitated/eroded like the 7.3 covers?

Also, if it's just the LPOP cover you can get them separately for about $45 and gerotor for about $30.

Asheville Engine Rebuilders - Home It might be a good place to use for comparison to what you will be spending to bring your engine back to life.
Good luck with your project.

This is a 04 motor, however I am unsure if it was made in 03. From some reading I believe this is the early motor, sensor in the valve cover, hpop cover without hole, and horizontal gpcm. Is the 80mm and 100mm the actual size of the over all oil pump bore in the cover? I can check it with a caliper to make sure of its size.
I've seen that more than a few times from reputable people it seems. Thanks for the link. I am having a really hard time believing it though because of the fit of the balancer/sleeve. I am still thinking it over though, nothing set in stone yet.
I don't mean to sound negative here but this site seems to have some good deals if you find the engine you have to be beyond help

I think that Anthony (run6.0run) had an issue when he had his crank balanced and it had something to do with that adapter.

Did he remove it ever, or had a problem balancing a stock untouched crank?

Nope. The ICP was moved from the HPOP to the valve cover in late 04 and it stayed in the valve cover.

So this motor should have the 100mm oil pump? What about the "better" hpop? Or is that all different years too? Was there just a early and late motor or were there multiple changes over many years of the 6.0?

The video posted shows dieseltechron removing the "do not F*** with bolts and reinstalling. So it 'technically' can be done right? Just STRONGLY advised against?
