waltermitty Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 What are folks doing for a dipstick on the Duratec using the Raceline sump? It came with a fitting, pipe thread on one end 3/8" barb on the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbox56 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Here is a picture of a dipstick tube made from a soft thin wall aluminum using the standard dip stick. This is on a 2.5 L Duratec, at the top you can see it going in between number 3 and number 4 extension tube on the throttle bodies. You can then access the dipstick from the top of the engine. With the compound curves you will need to corkscrew your dipstick to get it to bend multiple directions. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemtd Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I did something similar using the stock tube on my 2.0 engine. Then bent the top attachment bracket and secured to the diagonal frame pipe with a P-clamp. I filled the pan with oil and checked/scored the dipstick reference line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
