Problem!!!

dont know how bad it is, i'm assuming not really bad but....

anytime the engine is revved up high (5000rpm+) the dip stick pops out some and sprays some oil everywhere. i've noticed this burning smell after i take it up high before but just noticed the oil burning on the headers today after i drove it some.

thats the dipstick i have, it just fits right into the side of the block and seals with a small o-ring.

i'm thinking that has something to do with it poping out too, because its not in there REALLY tight at all.

would a dipstick like this be better?:

oh yeah, i got my tach hooked up. i think i kinda might know why i was running HIGH 15's at the track. because i was only revving it to about 5200 rpm's or so
