Engine Mechanical problem
1982 Chevy El Camino V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 10k miles
hello, i am baffled... finishing a head gasket install on a chevy 350 in an el camino. i am down to just reinstalling the dipstick tube, i see where it goes ( right side of engine) problem is, the exhaust manifold is directly in front of the dipstick hole in the block and there is no room to fit the tube in between the head and exhaust, this is crazy, something so simple holding me up.
