Look directly under the wiring that runs to the starter.
Sometimes it's easier if you have someone feed the dipstick guide from the top and you lie underneath and feed it in (there's a notch where it slides in).

I found it easier to put the dipstick in the dipstick tube and into the block first. Then slide the tube into the block.

Nah nothing really rubbing or anything. I can be completely still and let it idle and it'll sound awesome. But whenever I rev it to above 2 1/2 rpms it'll make squeaky sounds. Going bring it in to a pro tomorrow I guess. This guys putting on my cam, just hope he won't charge me a full header install price to tweak it a little
