I got my engine back from a high performance
machine shop, they happily pointed out the new
chrome dipstick and dipstick tube they had
obtained and installed in the process.
Unfortunately this will not fit correctly as you
can imagine. Mysteriously although they had
returned some other parts, the dipstick was
missing and the old tube battered to the point
of no use. I am hoping to find a solution…….not
sure if anyone has ever made a pattern of the
original tube or has any ideas. Thanks.</span></p>
