dipstick question
Ok I'm installing my 2460 headers today and took the dipstick out to get the passenger side in. The dipstick tube actually slide right out with no effort. My question is since it's a "press fit" should I enlarge the end of the tube so it stays in there? Seems like its going to work its way out especially since I dont see a bracket to secure it to unless I make one. thanks

Re: dipstick question
You could ream the tube a little larger, or ever so slightly flatten the end a bit.

Re: dipstick question
I will check mine today, I believe mine moved a good 1/2" each way. Ill double check and let you know, maybe make a short video to show how mine is (and without leaks around it)
