I want to relocate my oil dipstick. Can you fish it out from around the engine mount without messing with the engine mount?
It looks like I can just remove the starter and takeoff the dipstick and fish it out form behind the engine mount. I don’t really wanna have to mess with the engine mount if I don’t have to. I’ll just relocate it to another spot instead on messing with the mount.
I’m not happy with the way this intake pipe fits. I think I found some with a tighter radius do it matter if it’s stainless steel or is something else better? Does the maf need to have a specific orientation in a bend to read correctly? I didn’t know if it matters if I would put it where the air might be moving faster or slower in the radius.

Iirc with the manifold off, you can snake it out. Might need a tweak or teo
I found something on Amazon that should work. There’s other options out there, but they’re very spendy and you’re gonna have to hack them up. There might be some other options out there, but that’s all I’ve gotten so far. I’ve also thought about somebody cutting mine up and doing a bunch of pie cuts to tighten it up.

I don’t know how critical is, but I would think at a minimum you would want it in the center of the bend not to the inside or the outside where the airflow is gonna be faster or slower. That’s right where HSP built the kits with if.
