[Spridgets] A stick in time saves....the engine?

My first concern is figuring out what I need to use for a proper measuring device and have it reasonably correct in full or "OMG it reads NOTHING".  For getting a dipstick to seal , I've had great success with valve stem "umbrella type" seals to positively create a seal that is reasonable between a dipstick and the tube.   Also going back to racing on hand chiseled stone slicks , a positive retention using a spring has been very helpful.   A super duper custom set up would be a version of a GM flip to lock in the tube , automatic trans dipstick.  Push dipstick into the tube , and flip the lock on the end of the stick and it expands the seal inside the tube.   Hmm I might just attempt that...and a spring type retainer in case crankcase pressure could conspire to blow the dipstick out.   Just mindless ramblings...ChuckIgnore that man behind the curtain....Sent from my LG Mobile
