Wtf???????
I just went to go check my oil level and I noticed the dip stick was pushed out a little. I pushed it into place along with the tube and when I pulled it out it was really hard to get out. Then I found this. I also had to get a pair of vice grips on the bracket part of the dipstick tube to get it out. It must have broke off inside the engine.
Anyone ever seen this before? Is it going to be harmful to my engine?
1985 Corvette engine mods are Miniram, AFR 195 Heads, flat tappet ZZ409 camshaft, Crane Cam hardened Chromoly pushrods, Comp cam 1.6 Roller Rockers, Melling Lifters, stock bottom end, 10:1 Compression.
Never been above 6k RPMs.
Thanks.

An '85 OE stick that's been replaced with a 14094758 - it's fit is '85 through '88 only with the correct tube. It is of course NLA so it might be tough to locate anything other than a used one. Either number should do. Did you recover the entire dipstick or is there a portion of it missing. I can't tell from the snapshots.
