i just put in headers last weekend and believe me it is alot easier with the dipstick out. it was kind of tough to pull it out because its been in there for so long, but it just slid right back in.

Well, I know its not going to slide right back in. When I rebuilt the engine last Christmas (and had it on the engine stand), it was a major PITA to put back in.
