  Cram seems to be the word. The dipstick on my Midget 1500 is
very difficult to insert because it rams right into an engine
mount (or something, I forget, it's winter and the car has
been asleep for a while).

  It never fails to give me that "something must be wrong"
feeling, because you have to bend the stiff dipstick a fair
bit to get it in.

  (make your own bawdy jokes about the wording in the
last sentence)
