Message	back when the engine was rebuilt, they put the motor in and had problems getting the dip stick out (after the installation). they ended up pulling so hard the "bulb" on the end came off. I ordered a new dip stick and had to file it down thin, and now it goes in, with a little effort. I personally haven't had the oil pan off. I figured if I eventually pull the motor for upgrades, I'd check it out then, but if it's possible now, with the motor in, I may look into it. since it gets a little frustrating sometimes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Conversation between my sister and my wife (shortly before we got married): Wife: "You know, sometimes I think he loves that Z more than he does me." Sister: "He probably does, and as long as you're okay with that, everything will be fine."
