Does anyone have any tips and tricks on how to get the oil dipstick reinstalled after installing longtubes? I finished installing my Kooks LT's and had the engine mounts and steering shaft disconnected to get more hard room, but I cannot seem to get the tube lined up snaking down the block, to go into the hole. I am just doing it by myself and I know a second set of hands could help but, if someone has a trick up their sleves, I would greatly appreciate it.

At first I found this tricky but then realized I was trying to make it go where it's not supposed to. Without looking at mine, I think it goes down just to the rear of the second header tube. Once I got it in the right spot it went in without issue.

I figured it out tonight. There is this thing mounted on the drivers side strut tower that ahs a hose going into intake manifold. I know that on some of the 2005-2006 models this thing was in a different location than my 2007. i disconnected it from the strut tower a rotated it out of the way. By doing this, i was able to get the correct rotatin of the dipstick tube and got it into the hole right away.
Thanks for all your input.
