remember last week I changed my oil pan because I had no oil pressure,

everything looks fine so I reassembled everything.

 

then I tried to check the oil level, the dipstick got stuck!!!! :eek:

No kidding really stuck!!! It move like a 1/4"

 

I'm about to remove the whole thing again.... :(

 

Any Idea before I start.

yeah...should have warned you. :(

 

had the same problem the first time I replaced an oilpan and had to do it all over again..

NEVER refit the oilpan with the dipstick still in place, as in most cases the stick gets stuck between the girdle and one of the oil baffle plates.

 

do NOT pull it out with force...it WILL break at the end of the stick and the leftover bit can cause lots of damage internally

:eek:

 

The only thing I hate about that removal is that the wastegate actuator arm interfers with the oil filter bracket bolts... any tip so I can forgive you ;)
