No Dipstick?
 
I am putting a Y8 block in my crx and for some reason I can't seem to find where the dipstick is going to be. On my old Z6 block it was right in the front. Does it go through the valve cover?

Re: No Dipstick?
 
its int he same place as all the d/b blocks, the dipstick tube probably got pulled out, it comes out pretty easily

No there is not even a hole. I would have noticed. Any other ideas?

yeah it should be on the timing belt/exhaust side corner ,if the tube isn't there you will see a hole fo rit.

so what do you guys do about that then? is there a casting mark for you to drill out and install the dipstick tube in the stock a6/z6 spot?
