The ball is in the galley that goes down from the oil pressure sensor on the back of the block to under the rear main cap.
What kind of clearances are on the bearings and what oil pump is in there? I would lean toward your shop being responsible for any oil pressure problems. Your engine won't live long with poor oil pressure.

Make sure you have the right pick-up for whatever pan you're using.
As for that ball, I want to say .472", but my memory is a little foggy right now.
