Rover T Series Oil Stick

[deano266]

Hi guys. Just discovered that the oil stick guide for the dip stick actually doesn't sit well in the dip stick hole. There is about 1/2 inch of the internal part to the engine sticking out and not sitting in it properly. What could I do to fix this or what should the right one be

IIRC the dipstick tube simply pushes into the hole in the side of the block, and has a top bracket that bolts to the water rail above the exhaust manifold to hold it in place. I'll have to check mine in the morning.

Confirm. On my Rover engine there's a bracket near the top of the dipstick tube which bolts to a similar bracket on the heater water rail from the thermostat housing.
