Ecotec dipstick????

[Oldmate78]

Hey guys,

I’m trying to fix up my sons Ute (98 vs 5sp) that decided running isn’t something it’s going to do today. Long story short I’ve swapped out the dfi and coil pack and it’s running again. My question is where the bloody hell does the dipstick bolt onto on an ecotec? It’s in the hole in the block all well and good but is nowhere near lining up with any of the exhaust manifold bolts. Can somebody please show me a close up picture where it bolts up because google is giving me nothing!!!

Cheers.

Thanks bud, turns out it’s either the wrong tube or it’s just been bent so much it’s nowhere near that bolt lol. I’ll just have to “adjust” it till it lines up
