oil pressure gauge goes to zero at idle?

Every 03-04 I've seen with low oil pressure at idle was missing the steel ball from the hpop. When it falls out low pressure oil just spills out the side of the hpop feed passage. If the ball has fallen out and you keep running it the hpop won't last long. You can tap and plug the hole in the hpop.
