Default Boosted B-Series Dipstick problems?

Just wondering.

With a Spoolin Log mani, it is a huge PITA to check the oil. Anyone have suggestions? Or pics of your setup?

Check the oil before driving far or get a leather glove to grab the dipstick. I had this same problem with my SPoolin log, but its not that big of a deal

Not sure if this helps but I have a full-race manifold and it also is a tight fit for the oil stick. I swaped the stock rubber stick for a metal golden eagle. It gets hot but doesn't melt. You just have to make sure you have a shop cloth before grabbing it after making a pass.

Pics of the problem? Im running a spoolin' log mani and have no real issues. I just had to bend the oil stick a bit so it was easier to pull out when the motor was hot. Here's a pic as a reference:
