Is it a race car? Of course it requires tools. there=E2=80=99s all kinds of=
things you simply never bother with on a street car (or leave to the

=C2=A0
That dipstick tube is a street car item (and the stock exhaust manifold
is not in the way). My race car has headers (which are in the way), an
oil cooler, Accusump, remote oil filter, baffled pan, an oil pump with
a filter screen, exterior (steel-braided) plumbing a street car does
not have (and which has its own special wrenches), and 7.5 quarts of
not-street-legal synthetic oil. Not gonna get married to a street-car
item like a frickin=E2=80=99=C2=A0 tin tube sticking out of the engine bloc=
k.

Really? It seems to be a pretty good invention in its designated place.
Checking the oil level shouldn't require tools.

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,
=C2=A0
I somehow managed to lose the dip stick tube for my latest engine. So,
what's the consensus:
=C2=A0
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
=C2=A0
???
=C2=A0
In other words, I'm looking for suggestions.
=C2=A0
Oddly, three engine block cores and no dip stick tubes. What's up with that=
?
