Dipstick t00b update
Here is the original story.
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=203783
Well after some dynamic testing on the 8-9 of this month at Watkins Glen... I am happy to say the the Hondabond repair works very well.
The t00b is nice and tight and the leak is GONE.
I let the car sit over night to allow the 'bond' to cure... and the next morning the repair was complete.
It took me a little while to get the header/heat shield back on.. but once they were on I used the dipstick to help center the t00b correctly and let it sit.

Re: Dipstick t00b update (Willard)
The same thing happened to me yesterday @ gingerman. Thanks for all the info! My t00b is tight now, but it was pretty loose after a full day at the track.
Off to get some H-B.

Re: Dipstick t00b update (Willard)
sweet - thanks for the update Willard. I had the same damn problem with #386 - fixed it with a little JB Weld, and it seems to be holding tight... (fingers crossed)

Re: Dipstick t00b update (Chris N)
Only found out recently that my dipstick moves as well but only when the engine is warm. There was a lot of grime and dirt around where the dipstick goes into the block. I wiped off most of it a couple weeks ago to monitor if there were any leaks and I'm glad to report that there are none. I'm getting the toob replaced by the dealership.

Re: Dipstick t00b update (Chris N)
My t00b has been loose for 3 track weekends now. I tried JB quick around and under the "ring" of the t00b, and it seems to have wiggled loose again after 2 days driving. I'm wondering if I reinstalled the t00b properly. Does the t00b snap into place, or do I need to use some force to get it to seat properly?
