standpipe / dummy plug question

Hey guys I'm new to the forums but had a quick question.


so i'm replacing the hpop,ipr,icp,oil cooler and a bunch of other things on my truck ( 2007 Ford F-450 6.0l ) cause I had a no start when hot condition so I figured I would just do it all in one shot and get it out of the way.


well after all of it was replaced I did a pressure test on the high pressure oil system and still had a small leak so I popped the valve covers off and pulled the dummy plugs and ( front and rear ) and the rear ones didn't have the standpipes on them ?? has anyone ever ran in to that before ??.


I've done a ton of work on these 6.0l's ( I'm a master certified technician ) but have never seen one of these without standpipes? someone has been in there before me and replaced the dummy plugs ( they were the 12mm plugs and the seals were torn so that was probably my leak I had cause it wasn't a very big one ) but the rear were the 10mm with no tubes attached and they aren't down in the motor.


Any info is appreciated
Thanks.

It wouldn't run without standpipes since they feed HPO from the pump to the injectors. Are you sure 1/2 of the standpipe isn't still down in the motor?

Like Tim said probably half the standpipe was still in the head.
