<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482698553865_42898">What is the diameter of a dipstick for the 100 engine? I did not have one for the engine I am building for my BN2. I bought the screw in tube for the block and the rubber dust cover for the dip stick, but I had to buy a used one from an enthusiast in Oregon that had one for sale. It was not cheap, but I am glad to have it. One problem. I screwed the tube into the block and tried to slip the dipstick and it stopped in the hole at the threads. I measured the dipstick with my calipers and the nominal diameter is a 1/4 inch. At the widest measurement I get .257 or maybe a little more. Is this the right dipstick for a 100 engine? Is it supposed to be a tight fit?<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482698553865_42897">Mike MacLean</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482698553865_42885"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482698553865_42887"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482698553865_42888"><br></div><div id="yiv3545340719composer_signature"><div style="font-size:88%;color:#364f67;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482698553865_42889">Sent via the Samsung GALAXY S® 5, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone</div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
