Ok, so here's the embarrassing follow-up story. =C2=A0I did not buy a bores=
cope, figured I'd try fiddling with the dipstick one more time and then pul=
l the engine out (fortunately just the long block, nothing else bolted on y=
et) and fix the oil pan baffle that I must have installed in the wrong posi=
tion somehow.
Stuck the dipstick in the hole in the block, it hit metal. =C2=A0Tried rota=
ting it, no help. =C2=A0Went to pull the dipstick out of the other engine i=
n the garage, figured I'd try that, and looking at the other engine I immed=
iately knew what was wrong.
Went back to my parts bench where all the disassembled car parts sit, found=
the dipstick and dipstick tube=C2=A0that I'd pulled out of the engine back=
in November and put them in. =C2=A0Everything worked fine. =C2=A0Figure it=
out yet?
I had been trying to install a spare dipstick siting on the bench, without =
a dipstick tube, and had been inserting that directly into the block, and h=
itting the bottom of the pan. =C2=A0
The missing part - the dipstick tube! =C2=A0Good for about 4" of dipstick d=
epth - of course the dipstick was hitting something!
It's a wonder I get anything done. =C2=A0Sometimes, after a long day in the=
garage, the powers of observation are apparently weak.
What a dipstick,
Scott
