hey guys at the risk of sounding like a total noob, my dipstick came of yesterday and i was trying to put it back on but i can't find the whole on the block where it screws back on to. does it screw onto the block or somewhere else??
anybody??

 

Actually it just slides into the tube on the passenger side of the block. It should be pretty easy to find.

 

yea but you know how near the top it has a little extension on to the side with a whole in it that looks like it's supose to have a bolt in it, yea the botom does just slide right in.

 

o no no no man iam not just talking bout the dipstick itself iam talking bout the dipstick and the tube on the passager side that goes all the way to the bottom side of the engine, you know the black tube. well that tube looks like it screws on to the block or to something but i cant find the whole on the block, where does that tube screw on to????

 

Hmm.... I don't believe I am following you. Are you saying the dipstick tube came out of the block? Do you have pics of what you're talking about? I may have to check out my car at lunch to see what you're talking about.

 

read the post right above yours i posted it at the same time you did this one

 

hey man you there??? anybody?? the whole tube came loose.

 

You dont need it.... Hahaha
joking...... i have no idea what to tell you... You cant find anything for it to slide into? no holes? have u looked really good?

 

well i guess i could take of the headers and get under the car and search but if anyone on here knows where is screws onto then it sure would save me the huge pain in the rear end that taking of the headers would be

 

hey anybody in here know where the dipstick tube screws onto, is it the block?? cause i cant find the damn whole.

 

I don't know what to tell you man. Usually dip stick tubes don't screw in. At least I haven't seen one that did on the motors that I've worked on. I haven't gotten that far down on the LS1 though. You could try and use some 2 part epoxy or something like that. Maybe the guys in the internal or external engine part of the forum would have more knowledge. I'm at work right now, so I can't get at my car right now. Sorry dude.

 

The bottom slide into a hole right above the starter. and it bolts to the block right in between Cyl 4 and 6 above the flange

 

it's cool man iam at work to thats otehrwise i would look for it my self

 

oooooooooooooo cool thanks man i couldn't find the whole and i din't really want to have to take the headers of or something else to look for the stupid whole. thanks you saved me a lot of time man.

 

Cool no prob. Just did this yesterdady installing my headers so its freshin my mind

 

There's a hex bolt right by the middle header bolts that will come off. Take a look and you should see this. It's quite a bit larger than the header bolts, probably about 14 or 15mm. When I put my headers on, i had to remove this one bolt in order to pull off the dipstick tube.

 

cool thnx
