Question Do I have a crank spacer or not?

Hey guys, I have a 2005 6.0 truck long block, it is either a LQ4 or LQ9. Anyway I was told I might have a factory installed crank spacer.

Judging by this pic (albeit shitty quality) do I have a crank spacer installed right now?

I wasn't sure because when I mock up the oil pan, the flexplate is less than a quarter of an inch away from back of the oil pan.

Thanks!!

If the flywheel bolts are about 3/4" long, then you don't have a spacer.

I was hoping not to have to pull a bolt to check, but if that's what I gotta do....

Looks like 3 step down behind the block to me, that would be block, crank, and crankshaft spacer before you get to the flywheel. If you know what trans was behind it that would help you to determine without taking it apart. But it looks like it has one to me.

Now that you mention the "3 step" thing, it does appear that I do have a crankshaft spacer.

Thanks guys!!
