I need the bolt that holds in dipstick for an LT1! Like the title says, I find myself in need of the bolt that holds the dipstick in the engine. The reason I need the bolt is, when I installed my headers I removed the dipstick. I had a couple friends helping me, and when the time came to start putting everything back together. One of the guys helping me lost the bolt, and didn't tell me. 
I went to check my oil today, and guess what, the dipstick tube came out with the dipstick. It dosen't appear that I'm leaking oil, but I would like to get this fixed ASAP. Thanks!

That bolt is ridiculously tiny.
I almost lost a even more important but similar sized item once, the piece that links the opti to the motor. On my last motor I didn't put the bolt back in, I used to have BBK shorties and it was going to be a bitch to get it right. I never leaked oil out of there and just held onto the tube when removing the dipstick.
