They went in the regulator bore like they're supposed to. The oil pump was on the motor and the bottom coolant pipe was partially blocking my view inside the bore. I put five dimes in and I guess 2 got lodged cross ways and pushed to the right into the main pump housing. There is approximately a 2" dead end at the back of the bore where the dimes are supposed to go. 3 dimes made it there, but 2 ended up going through the pump. A piece of one of those is in my prior pick. The other 1.75 are MIA. I'm assuming they got caught by the oil thermostat and plugged the rifle. I'm tearing down the oil cooler to inspect. I have new oil cooler, oil thermostat, and oil pump, along with accouterments en route. Might as well replace the oil cooler while I'm there I figure. Also will take egr cooler to cummins for pressure test. Having the oil pressure problems I was having before the dimes, I wouldn't be surprised to find some other debris around the thermostat. While disassembled I'll make certain the rifle between the pump and thermostat is completely clean as well.

You made some kind of mistake. Simple as that. Wrong placement or too many of them. My youtube video shows how most guys do it. I used 1/2" worth of them.
