6.0 - metal in low pressure oil reg

[LReiff]

Yes and that is the odd part, we had this thing apart not long ago and replaced the hpop, ipr, oil cooler and hpop filter screen. Now it appears the hpop is throwing fine chunks for no reason. The hpop filter screen is clean and we had the hpop oil feed galley spotless when we replaced it. I looked the hpop over as well and I can not see anywhere external where this metal may have came from. There no way a piece this size went through the regulator but I suppose it may have came out of the regulator.

The truck has been running fine for a month now. We ended up doing a rebuild. The bearings showed signs of digesting quit a bit of dirt, way worse than I've seen cummins with triple the miles show. No idea where that piece of metal came from, lifters and cam were fine.
