  • oil dipstick

    Haha after my header install I can't seem to get the oil dipstick to go back into its home all the way.

    You have to really push the hell out of it.
    I had to guide it into the hole it goes in and my dad pushed pretty damn hard to get it in.
    I think the key is just having 2 people doing it.

      its in the hole but its basically leaning against the strut and shows my oil at the add line... when I go to work tomorrow I'll get my mechanic to give it a good push my little *** can't do it lol.

          hmm before car gets warmed up oil pressure stays at 60 at idle, under load goes to 70... after it gets warmed up oil pressure drops to about 45 at idle but when under load goes to 70. Hadn't noticed this before my header install..

            Same thing for me...almost exactly the same #'s
            I'm not real sure what it did before though, but I don't recall noticing it dropping like it does now at idle and going back up that much under load, liek you were saying.

                Mine is definatley close to that.
                Its hard to tell for sure, but its between 600 and 750.
                So yeah...probably around 700.
