Dip Stick Insulator.

[Bill Z]

Does anyone insulate their dip stick tube from the exhaust manifold? Sometimes the dipstick gets so hot that it burns when I check the oil level. I figure it is because it runs right along side the manifold.

Is there a small wrap or a heat shield that I can get and install?

Header wrap your dipstick tube.

Now theres a new mod I bet no one has done yet.
You could win most innovative mod at Nats next year with that one!

Or you could just check it when it cold...

I’m going to fabricate a shield first. If that doesn't work, I will try the wrap.

I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
