Hehe. I finally got it. I put a nut driver in between the valve cover and dipstick length-wise and pulled it toward the front of the engine, and basically bent the dipstick tube up. Made me real nervous to do that, but I just couldn't figure out any other way. Got the last valve screw tightened on, and all is good now. Bad damned if I know a better way.
