Were there instructions somewhere that I missed on drilling a hole for the dipstick? What did the area look like before drilling that hole? Been wondering if my dipstick is even going down into the pan or just bending to the side. After about a minute of playing with it I’m
Able to get it seated.
No instructions. That was all me after noticing my dipstick was curling like others had mentioned. It wiggles into the hole fairly easy now. I drilled two holes. One was through the top piece that was bolted down. The second was through the lip of the piece that the top piece bolts into, which is welded, so I couldn’t remove it to drill it. I suppose someone could drill them both and then remove the top piece to deburr and clean things up, but I figured there would be less of a mess if I removed the top baffle first.
