Re: brown man needs one of these!
It's cheaper to use a plyers and crimp the top just a bit.

Re: brown man needs one of these!
I have never had that pop up before. Why does it do that in the first place?

Re: brown man needs one of these!
I actually have a metal bracket I made for mine. It's a thin bendable piece of sheet metal, that has a groove cut into the top of it, that slides over the handle of the dipstick. Then, it's held to the tube by a small hoseclamp.

Re: brown man needs one of these!
Isnt Blow by a REALLY bad thing. My buddy with a turbo integra got that and he ended up having to get the block rebuilt.

That's why your supposed to put boost pressure to the crank case, to help reduce blowby.  |

Re: brown man needs one of these!
Weird....i just posted in the Internals section about replacing the rings because of blow by. I'm sick of the dip stick popping out and blowing oil everywhere. I clamped my dipstick in temporarily but i hate the idea period. If you have to clamp, crimp or whatever, then you're not getting to the real source of the problem. I think of the dipstick as a pressure release valve. If it's clamped in there, then your sealing up the motor tight. That can't be good. I sure don't want the side of my block to open up and become the new pressure release valve.

Re: brown man needs one of these!
I have heard from someone on here, that blow by is a thing that all dsms have and is ok to have because that is what the pcv valve is for. or something like that.
I suppose being that ive Never had the problem of my dipstick popping out its likely a good thing. (or means i need to add more boost so that it does happen hehehe)

Re: brown man needs one of these!
Bah, it can happen to any engine, it may not be caused by blowby, it could be a random surge through a messed up PCV with high boost.
get a crankvent setup. some checkvalves - one for vac. only from the valve cover, then one for pressure from the crankcase -> to a nipple on the exhaust, and when there are vacuum pulses in the your exhaust, it'll suck out and burn any positive pressure. easy.
