i was just wondering if there is supposed to be a rubber gromet of some sort to go around the dipstick when its put into the engine below the header?

i just dont like the idea of having a dirty dipstick not being sealed tight,and the fact that it was making a mess around the hole into my block [Frown]

if any one knows it would be appreciated, thanks

Lil black silicone will cure what ails ya. Just clean it real good and dab a ring of silicone around the tube before you install it in the block.

The ant-ghetto sign is no joke. Degrade this forum with ghetto behavior and get the boot. Ghetto behavior such as street slang, no regard for education (spelling & grammar) and threatening others with violence has no place on CAFords.com. Please find another forum to demonstrate such behavior.
