Reply to "seeking help for Oil dip stick path through"

Congratulations.

I noticed something about the tube you fabricated is quite different than the stock tube.

The stock tube actually continues past the entry point for another 10 inches, 25 cm, and yours apparently protrudes just an inch or so. I don’t know if the tube length for the Pantera differs from the standard Ford tube design.

I do not know if this is a potential problem or not. But it does mean your dipstick is unsupported unlike the original. Being unsupported it is somewhat susceptible to movement and with a spinning crankshaft and sloshing oil could it perhaps come in contact with the crankshaft?

Hopefully not a problem but I thought it was worthy of sharing.
