Title: Dipstick bracket problems and header question
Post by: 5.0thunderbird on March 23, 2013, 12:58:20 PM
Hey everyone. I was taking my headers off of my car and while taking off the stud that had the oil dipstick bracket connected to it it broke off and I was wondering i that bracket keeps the dipstick in the engine or if it is just for stability. And if I need it Should I make a makeshift bracket?

And I was also wondering if my bbk unequal length headers will bolt straight on to my stock heads.
Thanks everyone

The dip stick is just pushed into the block the bracket holds it in

Jusr rebend the dipstick tube to another spot and use a new stud.
