My Spit did it too. I got the meatball flag so many times from oil on the he=
aders that it was ridiculous. Got so I'd look for it every lap.=20
At first I tried a spring to hold the dipstick down tight in the tube but it=
still leaked. Then I tried to cap the dipstick tube with a silicon plug and=
a silicon cap and held with a clamp but that leaked too.=20
The solution on my engine was not with the just the tube or dipstick it was i=
n venting the engine better on both the top and bottom end and adjusting the=
spring load of the split on the dipstick.
I added a 1 inch ID hose venting the oil pan at the old mechanical fuel pump=
opening and added a 1/2 inch ID hose to the valve cover so along with the s=
tock existing 3/8 inch hose on the valve cover I ended up with 1 7/8 inches o=
f hose vented to the required catch tank.
I also bent the split on the dipstick so that it was harder to pull out of t=
he tube and I replaced the felt gasket.
Extreme venting and spreading the dipstick cured the oil out the dipstick pr=
oblem on my engine and probably has helped avoid pushing oil out other place=
s. Plus the engine isn't having to overcome any buildup of bypass gas pressu=
res on the bottom. I hope.=20
Nice that the dipstick is still there for checking the oil and I don't have t=
o go look for it.
Plus I haven't seen the meatball flag in awhile.
