Default Did I mess up?

Well the car is mainly back together after doing new lifters and new pushrods, just gotta bolt the intake and fill her up with coolant and oil. Im looking at the eingine and notice my oil dip stick tube is not there and that it is still laying on the ground. Is there a way to put it in without removing the header or any other parts?

You didn't mess up. Might be easier with 2 people because it's tough to see the hole that it goes into from up top. One person on top holding it and one on bottom guiding it. It's just one 15mm bolt holding it on by the header flange. If you are doing it by yourself, disconnect the battery in case you accidentally hit the starter terminals with it and short something out.

Headers need to go on first anyhow, so you didn't screw up. You just need to get it installed.
