2002 Trans Am

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?

There is a 15mm bolt holding the dipstick in place between the two middle manifold bolts, remove that and you are golden.

YES, I had a feeling it was that....I was looking at it for the past 5 minutes and couldn't figure out what it did...

Thank you so much, I am a pretty happy guy right now

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.

Never took the stick out, just removed the bol,t and moved it to the side a little. Good luck.

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.

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.

You can get your hand in there with some headers. Some you can't.

Get a helper...I was under the car and I had my helper "drive" the dipstick while I guided it into the hole...oh...sounds kinky. <--
