Subject:      Loose oil dip stick
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


Hello all,
I had occasion to be working around the rear end of my 89 Wolfie Vanagon
(that's the end closest to the last bumper to arrive anywhere while
proceeding in a forward direction ....)  Anyway, I noticed that the oil dip
stick had vibrated (?) out of the tube almost a half inch.  I have not
noticed any red lights flashing so I suspect my oil pressure to be within
limits, but I got to questioning if my oil pressure would drop were the dip
stick to vibrate out past the ridged end cap.  Anyone else care to comment or
ever experience something similar?  Does the end cap get worn enough to
warrant replacement? ... or should I just go get my crankshaft
counterbalanced and eliminate the vibration!
TIA for your (positive) responses.
Ken Hartz
89 White Wolfie
