When I got my engine back from a high performance machine shop, they happil=
y pointed out the new chrome dipstick and dipstick tube they had obtained a=
nd installed in the process. Unfortunately this will not fit correctly as y=
ou can imagine. Mysteriously although they had returned some other parts, t=

of the original tube or has any ideas. Thanks.<br></div><div dir=3D"ltr"><b=
