Just wondering.

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

 

also post pics of your setup if you can, so we can see the problem and help find a resolution

 

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:
