<div>Is it a race car? Of course it requires tools. there’s all kinds of things
you simply never bother with on a street car (or leave to the mechanic) for

<div>That dipstick tube is a street car item (and the stock exhaust manifold is
not in the way). My race car has headers (which <u>are</u> 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’ tin tube
sticking out of the engine block.</div>

<div>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.</div>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I somehow managed to lose the
dip stick tube for my latest engine. So, what's the consensus:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. fabricate a tube from some aluminum</div>
<div>2. drill / tap the block for an AN fitting and fab up a dip stick of
the proper length</div>
<div> </div>
<div>???</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In other words, I'm looking for suggestions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Oddly, three engine block cores
and no dip stick tubes. What's up with that?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards,</div>
<div>Bob Lang</div>
