Rick, (or any of the other guys) one puzzle is the dip stick. The crate engine has a hole on either side for the dip stick. The drivers side is right under the manifold. Ain't no way that will work. I pulled out the dip stick from the old engine and got it cleaned up. It is not a real tight fit in the new engine but mounts up perfect on the passenger side as before. Will silicone seal it up? There is a hole in the engine on the drivers side about the size of a 45 caliber bullet. It is a smooth bore, no threads. How do I plug that for good when it will have to not leak in 0 degree temps or when the engine is HOT at 220 degree for the next 20 years?
