Question Dipstick and 4 bolt splayed cap (oliver) question

I was looking at my new stroker motor and it appears that the dipstick will be obstructed by the main cap. I have oliver splayed main caps. Does anyone know of a work around? I also have a new revised canton oil pan, btw. Need help please.

I have Oliver splayed caps and my dipstick fit just fine.

Go to my website and you can see what my engine builder did with mine..he used a different bolt that didnt stick up as much because you will have issues if you dont do that from what I hear..

Cody,

Did they grind part of the cap off to lower the bolt height?

He used a different kind of bolt if you look closely so it would stick out as much..
