I have a 2000 gsr with 30,000 miles on it. recently while under the hood I noticed that my dipstick tube was loose where it goes into the block. The car was hot from just being shut off and I have a dc sport header. Once the car cooled down the dipstick was no longer loose. I realize the heat can loosen it up but my question is has this happened to anyone else and how can I fix it so it doesn't happen anymore? I know I can just pull the tube and replace the seal but I figure it will just happen again.

 

hye guy search. There was a member that had the same problem. Even had pics

 

no need to worry, your under warranty, just get acura to give you a new rubber seal

 

Hondabond around it and put the tube in or JB weld it in.

 

i'm pretty sure you don't want to jb weld it in, well my suggestion is don't.

 

We just put a short block in an ITR under warranty for the same problem. I would ck with your dealership about getting it fixed while it's free.
