the valve you have now is fine. the plastic on yours can come off just as mine did. i just did it to make it easier to install.

thanks for the info srtthis. But what about the oil dipstick? i heard that it is bent wrong, that it can flow out of the top. i need to figure out this oil leak!!!! Its whenever im running through gears and shift at about 5,000 RPMs.

pull the dipstick and make sure it goes in freely and is seated fully.

Also i forgot to add, you cannot just slide it down the tube... you have to kinda help it and give it some pressure to get it to go down, could my tube be all messed and is F'*ing everything up?

Man, If you're pushing the dipstick out at high rpm, like someone else mentioned, you've got a crankcase pressure issue. This can come from excessive wear of rings causing blow by, or a plugged up pcv system. You can also get it when running a bunch of boost, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you're not doing that.
You can replace the dipstick tube, but after you pop that new dipstick out, just go a head and tear that thing down and re-ring it. Been there, done that...

Click to expand...

1. Pull engine

2. Tear engine down.

3. Check crank and cylinder bores for wear, machine if needed.

4. Remove rings from pistons and install new ones. (Replace pistons if needed.)

5. Slap new bearings in.

6. Install engine.

No big deal...

Lol screw that. I'm just going to go pick up a block that has a cam, rods, pistons. And build that. It's been honed. And I can slap my top end on it with different heads.

That's what I was thinking... Oh well. I just picked up a 91 interceptor block with crank, pistons, rods, ARP rid bolts. High energy push rods, and 2 sets of roller lifters for $100
