[Spridgets] 948cc dipstick question..

[Jeff Kelly]

The dipstick hole is just a hole drilled in the block. The doubled over 
portion of the dipstick can be spread slightly to make it fit snuggly in the 
block.  There is a flat dimple (for a better description ??) that registers 
how far the dipstick will go into the pan.
