Oil dipstick location

[michael bustamante]

I'm running a 5. 3 out of a 03 GMC Yukon. Installed it in my 67. Now I'm starting to put everything on and I realize now that the dipstick is blocked by the headers. Un if you have pictures of your dipstick that you used in your LS swaps with headers?

I used the stock one ...just bent the tube to clear the headers..

The bends pretty extreme already. Should I heat it first?

[mongocanfly]

I used my brake line bender...no heat....but mines better quality than the cheap ones though...
I've seen a flexible dipstick on summit...might work for you if nothing else does...not cheap though

[michael bustamante]

no theyre not, I was thinking that I might have to go that route as well. ill use a bender on mine first and see what happens. thanks bud

I used a Camaro dipstick tube and cut down my stock truck dipstick to the right length for the shorter Camaro tube. I did it mainly for looks but it also cleared my Speed Engineering headers.

Yeaahhh, i bent mine too, no heat... mounted on the front exhaust manifold stud/nut. Ghetto but truck doesnt make me money, i just like the thumbs ups and comments...

I used my stock gen 4 truck dipsticks and tubes. They cleared the headers and bolted to the original location. I will get a picture for you today. I will be there in about 1 hour.

I ended up buying a Lokar dipstick. I had the same issue with my headers and this dipstick worked out perfectly. Plus it will never blow out and it locks.
