Did you just thread your oil pan or find one that fits? That engine is ridiculousGood Morning,
I had continuous issues with the o-rings leaking. So with the new engine build replaced the OEM dipstick with an aftermarket one.

If you have a part number/more of that dipstick+ tube I'd appreciate the info. Finding an LSJ one seems to be nearly impossible.Good Morning,

No used LSJ dipstick tubes anywhere for a while now, and I've been looking everywhere. Is your aftermarket one a Lokar? Do you know if modification(s) had to be made to your oil pan to accept?Good Morning,

I was thinking the same thing about it not having to go around the supercharger to have access since it will now be located in a more accessible area. However, I believe that I read somewhere (when I first began researching) that the 2.0L has a different base diameter than the 2.2L & 2.4L. I believe that it stated that the 2.0L has a larger base diameter. ? I may just have to try it.They are just pressure fitted into the hole, so it may be worth trying the 2.2L/2.4L tubes and seeing if they fit. Since you're not trying to fit the tube into an engine bay of a cobalt, a general tube should work just fine so long as the length is the same. If anything, you could trim it down if it's longer, but I wouldn't do it if it's shorter than the stock lsj one.
Thanks, man!! I just hate what our road salt and brine does to our vehicles here in Ohio. I wish ODOT would use cinder like they do in other states.@ Iwanttogofast Sorry I don't have one, I was asking for someone to send a picture, when I found this picture online. You confirmed this is it, so I will begin my resource searching. If I had it in my procession it would be yours for a cup of coffee..
I'm on the search. If you want to follow other builders lead and go with the Lokar style after market. I'll PM you.
