Here are a few pics I took of the problem, you can see that with it straight it runs right into the pump, and with it bent I still can't get it tight enough to clear the pump. Even how I have it bent now it puts a permanent Bend in the dipstick. I'm thinking that what I really need is a factory dipstick off of an older La engine because it would already be bent correctly and OEM has a better more springy dipstick that does not take a set as easily
