Does anybody know where I can get one for our cars?

Thanks

 

N E body?

 

What are you trying to "solve"?

 

Not trying to solve anything. I need a dipstick because I did an engine swap and my dipstick is not staying in the hole. Like it got lose, so I am just to find a replacement not from the dealer that will cost me an arm and leg.

 

Try a little RTV on the tube.

 

Yeah I will probably try that out. I was thinking that but did not want to jerry rig it.

Thanks for the suggestion

 

what side of the engine is the dipstick on?

you can buy a cheep mrgasket chrome dipstick for under $20.
most all autoparts stores carry them or a "proform" brand.

 

It is on the passenger side of the engine. It is a 91 block.

 

Sounds to me like you were trying to solve something -the tube won't stay in the block hole.

RTV will work. Doesn't your tube have a tab on it for bolting to the exhaust manifold? Or, did you install headers while you were at it?

 

ive got a lokar one, very nice piece, o ring seal, braided so its flexible, but a little pricey at ~$40

 

That is cool I will look that one up. thanks

 

Since we're on the subject, I figured I'd ask in this thread...

I need a new dipstick for my new engine, but I am only finding 2 kinds for 80 up, one for 80-82 and one for 82-85... but what's the difference, and which will work for a 1 piece rear main roller block?

This...80-82

or

This...82-85

Or do I need to look elsewhere?

 

I have an 91 block and that was my biggest problem. But I just looked on Ebay and found a bunch ranging from 6 bucks to 40 bucks. The expensive is one that was mentioned in this post that is steel braided looks awesome. there was a chrome one that was like 6 bucks with 5 dollars shipping. I am thinking of getting that one.
