Where is the hole for the oil dip stick? I am all done with my H/C swap, last thing is the damn oil dip stick, I cant find the hole where is slides/pushes into? ALSO, I seem to have lost the bolt for the dip stick, does anyone know what tread it is? Or did it share one of the header bolts?

Re: Where is the hole for the oil dip stick? It's 100x times easier to find if the starter is removed...
Drop the starter out of the way, and you'll see right where it goes.

Re: Where is the hole for the oil dip stick? Maybe this will give you a better perspective on where it is
The bolt is larger then the header bolts, it has a 15mm head - its the same size as the one that goes into the back of the head for the bracket that holds the AIR valve and RH wiring harness on back side of the head.

Re: Where is the hole for the oil dip stick? Get up under your car and look for the boss above the starter. You will not be able to see a hole from the bottom but you can feel it with your finger. Once you feel the hole get the dipstick tube started. Now get back up to the top of the motor and give it a little shove to get the o-ring back into the hole.

Re: Where is the hole for the oil dip stick? The hole is easy to find if you just know where to look (quoting my wife here). Get under the car and lay on the passanger side. You know that the end of the dip stick needs to go into the oil pan so keep that in mind. If you look up you will actually see a bulge right above the oil pan (at the passanger side edge) and that is where it plug into.
