My dipstick doesnt seem to fit all of the way into the block. If I unbolt the hanger on the header it will push in another 1/4" and lock into place but the bolt hole is now 1/4" to low? Should I just drill a new hole?

i would bend the tab so it fits correctly........i just installed stainless works headers and i had to grind and reshape the tab on the the dipstick tube to fit correctly....it may have got bent some during your install :cheers: :cheers:

Same problem here. I just pulled out the hand grinder and worked off enough of the tab to seat.
we had a hell of a time getting mine in too. It eventually lined up perfectly...no bending and no cutting. I will see if I have a pic with orientation shown. If not I can snap one this evening after work.
