LPOP frustration

Probably not the best group to ask, but I'm chasing an annoying problem on a 2004 Ford E350 6.0 diesel. It's a bus my buddy got not running. During diag found there was no oil pressure on the low side. Pulled the pump and found this gouging and replaced the pump. The inner side of the pump (the timing cover) has the same gouging but didn't think it'd be a big deal. Replaced the regulator, still no pressure. So I dropped the pan and replaced both pickup tube seals and if I crank for like 20 seconds, I get a little bit of flow to the filter housing (my housing is underneath not up top like the F series.) but I have the oil pressure switch up top in front of the turbo removed and have 0 oil making it up there. Anyone else got any ideas?

I'm sure some better answers will come along, but here's something you can check out in the mean time. I believe he was not building low side pressure.

When "gouging" connects the channels, it will affect the pressure that can be developed.

So ............................ what caused the gouging? Why would you assume that there wasn't a "root cause" there that you might have to go after?

Do you have a picture of the front cover section?
Did you greased the gears at installation ?

There was a single needle bearing got down in there caused the damage

So a lifter failed. What have you done to address that? I mean a single roller bearing is bad news even if is only a "single".
Are you assuming that there are no metal particles inside the engine, and no cam damage? ............or has this engine been torn apart and re-built?

100% to what Mark asked about the lifter failure? That failure causes major internal damage to components.


How about the relief valve located next to the LPOP housing? Have you pulled that and checked it?

Based on his post count I'm guessing he hasn't been around long enough to know this IS the best place to ask.

I started laughing when I read your reply to his intro. I was kinda thinking the same thing, but I am guessing he didn't mean it that way?

Lifters are one of the most overlooked problems on these engines -- few change them out and they'll bite you on the *** ultimately.
