Do you have to modify the end of the Lokar dipstick tube like you do the stock one to make it work with a stroker motor? On my old stock tube, I had to trim the end for clearance. Do you have to do the same with these?

Thanks,

Eric

 

does your stock dipstick not work anymore? just wodering why you changed.

 

Yeah, the stock one wont work on my set up any longer. I built a turbo system using log style headers and the stock stick wont clear the header. I figured I can use a flexible one instead. Just wanted to know if I need to trim the Lokar one also.

Thanks

I made a custom stick from the Lokar lower body, and, used 1/2 alum tube on the top half. I had to use a -8an union with a -8an screw-on plug cap. I used the metal from a household snake I had. Cut to length and put a point on it with a 90* twist. Spot welded it to the hanger wire ( short piece) w/ (low current/ voltage MIG with a Miller matic 130). Then insert the heavy clothes hanger wire thru the -8an plug cap for a handle. It screws off, and, is always sealed. Turned out very good. My app... 97ss 383ss D1/ afr 190's/ Seimens 72# Inj/ Canton road pan/ M6 and others. Hope this helps and good luck. B.
