Insert the tube until it doesn't go in any further, then mark the tube. Cut the tube about 1" short of the mark. I put a slight bend in the dipstick itself and it cleared the crank just fine. This is something you should do with the motor out while fitting the oil pan.

What pan, mains, and dipstick are you running if I may ask?

I too am running the canton 242t with 4 bolt splayed and stock dipstick. It took a little persuasion to get the dipstick to clear the mains but a couple of well placed bends and it cleared just fine without having to cut the tube at all.
