 Dipstick issues
Does anyone have issues with their dipsticks vibrating slightly out, every time I look back now she has come out about 1/2 an inch

 Re: Dipstick issues
Could "mods" cause extra crankcase pressure which pops it out ???
Just askin cause they are normally in there pretty tight and have an airtight seal on them....

 Re: Dipstick issues
The crankcase vent is re-routed to the K&N filter adapter on the carb. It should not be clogged, unless it's kinked, but I doubt it. I don't think that's causing the problem. Does it still feel snug when it's seated in the tube?

 Re: Dipstick issues
consensus appears to be too much crankcase pressure  Welcome to the world of MODS!!!easiest would be to try a different dipstick, If it still comes out, well, you know, its, a, rebuild time

 Re: Dipstick issues
