Had some customers ask how to route the oil dip stick with the cast manifold.
You just need a spacer about 1/4" maybe 3/8".
And a longer bolt.
Here's the order we used here.

1) m10 stud
1) m10 nut
Then the dip stick
1) m10 nut.

Here's a couple of pics. Engine is dirty. No fender skirt 140k on the clock and months of driving.

 

I had to bend the **** out of mine.

 

Does this apply with the new twin scroll manifold as well?

 

That's what I did too lol

 

The dipstick is already a pain in the *** to get in so the manifold just amplified it

 

That dip stick in the pic is not bent all up. Went in pretty straight forward.

 

went my trick install .I put my dipstick in first .rotated in down toward from of chassis ,put manifold on .rotated back up prying slightly .used a longer bolt.

 

Not to derail this thread but my initial glace read this thread title as dic pic...

 

You guys had that much trouble with it? Instead of using a spacer, I just ground the edge of the mounting tab where it had to clear the exhaust flange. Still bolts up straight to the head, no special bending or fighting. It was easy.

 

Same as above. Little grinding bolted right up with my kit
