Re: Replacing Deep Stick

Its called a dipstick.
exaught?=exhaust?
Are you saying your exhaust manifold wont line up to the y-pipe? Are you reusing all the same parts that were together before? Sometimes you have to loosen both sides & do some prying to get them lined up.
If your dipstick tube is bent, it should be replaced. On real stuck tubes sometimes you have to remove the oil pan & drive them out w/ a punch & hammer.
