what do you mean? isn't the dipstick tube pressed/tapped in? i thought it'd just tap in with an interference fit.
beer me!
Yes, but I'm pretty sure you are looking at a plug in the top of the head.
Drill a small hole in it, tap the hole, put a bolt/screw in there, and use a slide hammer to pull it out.
At least that is what I understood the setup to be.

here's my alternator tensioner, nothing flash, made it from the 4M tensioner. it's not quite the right radius, that's why the top hole is slotted. i might make it properly later on, at the moment i just wanna get it running. If anyone wants to do this, you'll need a dayco 6PK0750 rib belt.

Bummer. You'll need to do what I did to the 2JZ to make the dipstick work. Bit of a PITA. I used a threaded brass fitting with an untapped hole in the middle. Tapped a hole I drilled into the alloy corset of the sump and pressed some aluminium tube into the hole in the brass fitting. Then I gradually cut the top end of the aluminium tube till the dipstick poked thru to the right amount (when you compare it to the Soarer dipstick/sump). Make sure you make the appropriate cutout in the baffle plate before you bolt it all back together with silastic.
Hey, what are you doing for the oil filter block? You using a Crown one or will the Soarer one clear the Mk2 subframe?

i almost forgot that the dipstick would need to have a bent tube cause of the different sump location. thanks for pointing that out, would've had fun trying to get the dipstick in... tap tap, what the...
does anyone know the t/c stall speed of the crown? i'm lookin at getting a 3000rpm stall t/c.
beer me!
Soarer ones stick out to the front.
Celsior ones point towards the factory mounts.

I had to make a custom one to miss the chassis. The fittings point to the front.

beer me!
Dark Green are Soarer
Light Purple are Celsior
Celsior oil filter mount (can just see it)
