Option 2.

All you need is a plug. Best kind is one where the hex head is actually =
smaller than the plug, so you can reach it with a socket extension and =
remove it easily when the headers are still hot.

My dipstick is a toolbox item. My two race engines have the dipstick =
tubes removed ... on purpose.

Hi,

I somehow managed to lose the dip stick tube for my latest engine. So, =
what's the consensus:

1. fabricate a tube from some aluminum
2. drill / tap the block for an AN fitting and fab up a dip stick of the =
proper length

???

In other words, I'm looking for suggestions.

Oddly, three engine block cores and no dip stick tubes. What's up with =
that?

Bob Lang
