how to install dipstick tube?
I installed headers today and the last step from ls1howto was to install the dipstick tube. After 1.5 hrs trying to get it in I finally gave up. I could only get it in about 1/4 inch, so I zip tied it so Iwould'nt have oil everywhere. Is there a trick to getting it in or am I going to have to take the header off.

On our 2004, I just pushed it back in and it went. Had somebody under the car guiding it cuz I sure couldn't see where to shove it from the top.
I can't remember if it had an o-ring; if it did I lubed it w/ a bit of oil.

Checked I didn't take pics of the passenger side installed.
