I have arizona speed and marine headers installed and now i cant fit my dipstick tube back in. It wont fit inbetween the headers. Anyone else have this problem? Do they make an aftermarket dipstick tube that is flexible or bends like a stainless steel one or something? I dont know what to do.

I bought this one... expensive, but very easy to slide in and bend to where you need it

When I installed my Jet Hot LT's I had to bend mine a tad to get it to fit properly. I know that Lokar makes one as well.

The mounting tab on the dip stick tube is hanging you up huh. This is cause you mounted your header before reinstalling the tube.

You are supposed to install the dipstick tube while a second person holds the header near its mounting location. Once you have th tube slipped in then you mount the header. It will work but it is cumbersome as hell and it just plain sux to do it by yourself.

What I did was remove the mounting tab from my dipstick tube at the 3 tack welds, then I JB welded the 3 small holes in the tube up to prevent leaks. I then made a mount out of scrap metal that allows me to install the tube AFTER the header is installed. Works like a dream. Just install the tube minus the mounting tab and fab up a way to capture it. I also sanded the tube sown a bit so it easily slides back into the block, just dont forget to RTV it or it WIL leak.

I installed mine after I did my LTs, but I had to use the "persuader" a.k.a. big ****** prybar and hammer to get that tab to line up. In the end it did though.

Mines was a pain in the *** to get back in the car, that tab had to have the **** bended out of it to get it to work.
