funny you should mention this
I just went through this about 2 days ago.
If you have an 02-04 check and right above the headers on the head you should see a bolt hole, actually you should see 4 bolt holes. See if your bolt matches and threads into the last or 3rd hole. If it does then put your dipstick in and line up the bracket to the head. Mine went into the 4th hole and everything lined up perfectly. I have LG streets, but believe you are having the same problem.
