Where do you put dipsticks on a FE engine?

Where do you put dipsticks on a FE engine?

Early FE dipstick tubes bolted to the front of the head ( using the outermost coil bracket mount hole) so they will work for any year, but later tubes bolted to the forward #5 cylinder exhaust manifold bolt. If you are running an 8-bolt head you need a dipstick tube from an 8-bolt head.

How big does a dipstick tube go into a block?

The dipstick tube doesn’t go into the block very far…maybe 1/4″-3/8″. The mounting tab on the upper end will bolt into the forward exhaust manifold bolt (if you’re using standard 8-bolt cylinder heads) and leave about a 1/4″-1/2″ from the tube rib to the block.

Do you need a dipstick tube for an 8 bolt head?

If you are running an 8-bolt head you need a dipstick tube from an 8-bolt head. If you are running a 14- or 16-bolt head, you need a tube from either of those.

Is it OK to jam the dipstick and tube?

While it’s sometimes possible to jam the tube all the way in down to the rib, this will extend the tube and dipstick too far into the block, giving you an incorrect (low) oil level reading. In the interests of maintaining a cleaner engine compartment, a good seal at the bottom of the tube is desirable.
