    Dip **** stick broke off in pan now what?

    Damage report looks to be in one piece couldn't get to it with the magnet cuz it was up on the baffle.. now next question why the f*** do I have glitter only thing I can think of is oil lines from the original motor being dirty even though I pressure washed them.

    Dip **** stick broke off in pan now what?

    The oil drain is on the opposite side of the dipstick so that might work but be very difficult I don't have access to a endoscope .I just had it all out and replaced all the seals with a one piece. My thought is it's either pinched somewhere and being ground away or it might fall out and get...

    Worse possible case scenario after motor replacement in my 94k2500 I put in the wrong dipstick with a different dipstick tube and it broke off on initial startup I have two inches of dipstick broken off in the pan and it's grinding away and I have glitter. other than rotating the crank backwards...
