All you need is a plug. Best kind is one where the hex head is actually 
smaller than the plug, so you can reach it with a socket extension and 
remove it easily when the headers are still hot.

My dipstick is a toolbox item. My two race engines have the dipstick 
tubes removed ... on purpose.

Hi,
=C2=A0
I somehow managed to lose the dip stick tube for my latest engine. So, 
what's the consensus:
=C2=A0
1. fabricate a tube from some aluminum
2. drill / tap the block for an AN fitting and fab up a dip stick of 
the proper length
=C2=A0
???
=C2=A0
In other words, I'm looking for suggestions. 
=C2=A0
Oddly, three engine block cores and no dip stick tubes. What's up with that=
?
=C2=A0
