Need a pic of somebody's dipstick tube where it goes into the block. Is the lip of it flush with the block or is there about a 1/16" gap between the lip and the actual block.
Tried to beat mine down to make it go all the way in and I swear the damn thing's not going down any more. So I was just wondering if that was how it's supposed to be or what the deal is.
Pics are very much appreciated.

 

ill get one tonight for you

 

Theres a gap. I remember when i replaced mine i couldnt figure out what was going on until i looked at another motor. But if you have a small gap your fine.

 

I put a new one in and I have this gap kinda like I had with the old, loose leaky one.
The new one seemed to go in quite a bit tighter, but it just doesn't feel right.
I think I have some hondabond somewhere that I'm going to try globbing around it. I put the turbo back in and I'll be damned if I take it back out just so I can mess with this damn thing again.
