    Default Checked the engine oil now the dipstick wont go back in.

    I checked the oil today and when I went to put the dipstick back in it would only go in about 8 or so inches and then get stuck. I tried every to put it in at every angle tried to jam it in, nothing. I checked the tube all the way to the block and its not kinked or anything. Anyone had this problem before.

    No, i've done 4-5 five oil changes on it, and check it weekly. I don't know what gives. My brother told me the dipstick wouldn't go back in and I thought he was an idoit til I gave it a try for 15 minutes.

    I always force it until something breaks. Then I cuss at the object in question that broke. Then I try to find the parts to fix it. Eventually, after finding the best deal, I order the parts or have them repaired. Then I cuss the cost of the part or repair and complain to my co workers that things suck. The repair or replacement of the broken part takes twice as long as I thought, and I cuss, then it is fixed on Sunday evening and I missed 2 or more days of skiing.

    Boating is grand. Sorry, I have nothing useful for this thread.

    It looks like it is friction fit into the block but there is a bracket halfway up that holds it in place.
