I am a dipstick
 
Last night when I was installing my headers and I pushed on my dipstick and the dipstick holder thing fell out of the block. What do I do? I pushed it back in but it doesn't fell like it's in all the way. Thanks

you freakin dipstick! http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif just kiddin, when i put my motor back in i felt the same way, just make sure its pushed as far into the block as you can push it and bolt it to the header bolt that you take it off from, good luck with it, we dont want any leaks now do we?

Leaks wouldn't be good!!!!!!

If it leaks a little, you can put some black weatherstrip adhesive around the edge where it goes into the block.(or black silicone) The weatherstrip adhesive is good stuff.

Once it is in the block, fill the entire recessed area with black or red RTV. This will ensure it doesn't pop back out if you don't use the bolt. It will also completely seal and support the dipstick.
