Oil dipstick

[Venom 1000TT]

Anyone know where I can get a dipstick, I'm thinking like the one's that snap on for auto transmission sticks, to replace the one on my oil for my viper. Oil keeps blowing out of the stick. I even got one of those screw type kits but it still blows out between the stick & screw-on adapter. Especially under high rpms. It makes a mess of the passenger side engine. Any help would be much appreciated!

You obviously have some blow-by and crankcase venilation issues...


Until you get that fixed, you don't need the dipstick in the car - all the time. Just when you check your oil level.


Since you have too much pressure in the crankcase trying to get out, how about clamping a length of hose to the dipstick tube and attaching the other end to a baffled aluminum catch tank like John puts next to the rh pop off valve on his SRT-10 TT?

I have one on my car: http://members.tripod.com/norwalkvipernats/tank.jpeg (not connected to the dipstick tube)


Then you can drain oil from the catch can as needed out the bottom drain.


- Then order some new rings.

Bingo, these were the same issues we dealt with on our first supercharged project. A catch tank is a good choice to start with!

Excellent idea! I already have a catch can installed by John for blow by issues so I'll take some hose & T into it from the dipstick. Thanks for the ideas!

If you're getting blow by at your dipstick what about the valve cover vents that used to be hooked into the air box? Does that empty into the catch can?
