The engine oil dipsticks never came with a clip. Automatic transmission dipsticks have that though.

I have 5 dipsticks and 2 dipstick tubes in great shape just need the lower o-ring replaced.

Question do they have anything on them that keeps the dip stick itself from popping out I was told and o-ring holds it down in place the dipstick that is

[McKenney]

just one oring at the bottom and a bolt that holds the tube to the waterpump for rigidity. I have 5 dipsticks 3 have good orings still

That's i know ^^ I thoight the dipstick itself was held down by something , mine pops out while drifitng at high revs last event I sprayed oil all under the hood so I had to ziptie it down

check your breather tube(passenger side valve cover to intake), if it clogs you'll build up crankcase pressure and the dipstick will pop out of the tube. My original valve covers were clogged, swapped to some that had been vatted and cleaned and that solved it. Also take a screwdriver or something that'll fit in the tube on the intake side and make sure there's no restriction. you may have to pull the intake and have it cleaned to get all the carbon out. you can try "seafoaming it" and see if that helps. the 4age doesn't have a PCV(positive crankcase ventilation) valve. it is a constant vacuum system that requires intake vacuum to relieve the pressure built up in the crankcase. if it's not working properly it will cause the dipstick to pop out and can cause you to blow out oil seals.

were would the pcv be located (pics would help ) and i did blow all my oil seals but the motor ran fine before that last event and never blew the dipstick out . i only track this car then it sits all winter , also i run no emmsion/evap shit its all gone , and another note i run dual oil cap valve covers

it's the little hose going from the valve cover to the intake manifold. It's kinda clear gold in color in this pic. The 4ag DOES NOT have a pcv valve, it is a constant vacuum ventilation system. but if either side of this hose, or the nipples on intake and valve cover, are clogged it will build excess crankcase pressure

phone isnt working at the moment yea i know what u mean i run a shitty catch can that i have to upgrade and will be doing soon, also i see u want rear upper seats and some panels i dont really wanna ship anything that big i can try and ship it out the panels if u want but rear seat i cant , i just dont have time to run out to ups or fedex for a quote for somethin that big ,

[McKenney]

I replied to your post. if you're running a catch can it should run from the valve cover to the can then from the can to the intake manifold. but should be sealed and under constant vacuum as to provide the needed vacuum to relieve the crankcase pressure. does that make sense?

Yea I know thanks for the info on this
