I had a little pick like thing to get it out like shown in the picture. My neighbor(a retired mechanic)gave it to me to use, The seal is rubber with a spring on the inside to keep the seal against the shaft. Guess my next step is to try a better one and see how it holds. Is the oil level okay the top of the xx's with the dipstick just set in place ? You think it's more the seal not setting right.

Most leave the oil at 1/2 way up the x's, with out screwing in the dip stick.

ALLEY. So you says it's a bit bigger so it takes a bit of force to press it in ? No sealer/adhesive used. What about lube.
Thanks. GBY

Never had any issues whatsoever, but most people do fill it up until about halfway up. I guess I would rather be safe than sorry. Just don't OVERFILL it, because it could cause oil to blow out your valve cover tube! |
