    Saturday I finally started and ran the engine after sitting over 11 years.

    I need to find a seal for the dipstick tube where it inserts in the engine. Also grommets for the valve cover.

    Any suggestions?

    Thats cool after 11 years!:beer:

    Good question on the dip stick tube. Every other time I check my oil it comes out with the dip stick. It doesn't really leak much that I can tell, so I haven't worried about it, I have other places leaking that I need to figure out when I have a chance.

    I’ve been eyeballing the bull tear dipstick. I just need the stick though, not the tube.

    I have a similar problem. Looking for a dipstick tube for a 304. I have messaged Bulltear 2x and heard nothing. From what I have read, there are sizing issues with other tubes. Would love for someone to make one that works and still offers it.

    Matt, not sure if it helps you but I also needed a dipstick tube for my 304, the only one I found at the time was an Omix Part#
    17424.01
    I couldn't use my OEM dipstick with this as the tube is too short, but the dipstick that came with it shows oil level correctly and the tube did fit in my 304. Very tight but it did go in and I had to use the hold down that goes in the valve cover bolt.
