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

Re: No Dipstick?
 

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

Re: No Dipstick?
 

is it like a accord at the bottem of the lower timing cover in the oil pump housing?

Re: No Dipstick?
 

wait wait, with the y8's i remember it being alont the side of the timing belt, couldnt be that difficult to find

Re: No Dipstick?
 

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

Re: No Dipstick?

That would be why I don't see it. i am using a z6 oil pump. Well i guess i will just wait for the light to come on when I need oil. HAHAHAHA!! I a ready for the engine to blow up in the first month.

Re: No Dipstick?
 

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?

Re: No Dipstick?
 

yeah ther is no pre-marked spot but I think Could measure it aout and get it done but this motor only needs to last 1 1/2 months till I get out of school

This is a sad, sad thread. ::)

Drill a hole in there for a dipstick
Fill the pan with the proper amount
index the dipstick and you are ready to go

Doesn't really matter where you drill it because you are re-calibrating the stick with a known amount of oil in the pan.

Re: No Dipstick?
 

put a level plug in the oil pan, pull bolt, no oil add

obd2 blocks has the dipstick on the obd2 oilpump.
obd1 blocks have dipsticks in the block. :1
get an obd2 oilpump and port it for a better flowrate. shim the relief valve to raise the oil pressure.
