Header install question, involving oil dipstick Doing pretty good, taking my time.
Only thing is I am stuck on 1 header bolt on the passenger side. The oil dipstick is in the way. How do I remove it?
I tried looking for a bolt to take out, but it seems to have be directly hooked up to the oil pan....
Am I missing something, how do I take this thing off?

Re: Header install question, involving oil dipstick Have fun putting the dipstick back in
It took me like 10 minutes straight b/c i couldn't see anything down there with the LT's in the way and didn't want to drop the starter.

Re: Header install question, involving oil dipstick Don't look for the hole when replacing the stick,use your fingers and "feel" for it. If you are under the car, it shouldn't take more than 2 minutes.

Re: Header install question, involving oil dipstick Yeah, you gotta feel for it when you are putting the dipstick back in. Gave me problems for a while when I did my header install. Just push it back in when you reinstall it then tighten up the bolt. Sometimes its hard to find the hole it goes into.
