Question Picture of dipstick in splayed 4 bolt main.

Can someone please take a pic, or show me a pic of a dipstick that that you have in your splayed 4 bolt main? I know that all of you have said to bend it, but I cant seem to get mine bent enough to get it in. Thanks a lot.

My engine builder used a different headed bolt by the dipstick..I still had to bend it a lil but it made it alot easier..

I have the dipstick tube in the block, I just cant get the actual dipstick to go in without hitting the main cap. I know it needs to hit the main, and the drop in, but I just cant seem to get the right bend to do it.

Anyone, Please. I just need a simple Picture. I know that one of you with this done has a digital camera, or a regular one and a scanner. Please Help a fellow LT1 brother out. I need to see how much oil is in my car. Thanks a lot.
