I got my engine back from a high performance machine shop, they happily po=
inted out the new chrome dipstick and dipstick tube they had obtained and i=
nstalled in the process. Unfortunately this will not fit correctly as you c=
an imagine. Mysteriously although they had returned some other parts, the d=
ipstick was missing and the old tube battered to the point of no use. I am =
hoping to find a solution??.not sure if anyone has ever made a pattern of t=
he original tube or has any ideas. Thanks.<br></div><div dir=3D'ltr'><br></=
