Default Dip Stick Quest. Again~

Okay, so i cant get my dipstick back in stilllllllll, ive used the search engine and everything and still cant find it, i was out there just a second ago and i was kinda jaming the dip stick down there so it would line up with the bolt whole and then somthing starting sparking. What would cause this, i take it i hit some sort of wire?

You probably hit the starter wire. The dipstick is do easy to put in, all you do is push into the hole and then bolt the top part to the head.

First, place the dipstick tube down between the header primaries, be sure your starter is removed so you can have more room to work with. Next, get under your car and feel for the end of the oil dipstick tube and the hole it will go into. Now, just try to guide the dipstick into the hole. Once it is aligned, get back up into the engine bay and just push the dipstick tube down until it seats. Now you can bolt down the dipstick to the head and you're done.
