Ok well the guy that changed my valve cover gaskets ended up breaking the plastic off of the oil dipstick so now I have to use pliers to get it out. Im gonna go to the junkyard tomorrow to pick one up. Now my question is, are the OHV and SOHC dipsticks the same or do I need a special one thats just made for the OHV motors. Are any of them interchangeable?

Thanks,
Pete
 






The main thing is that the replacement should be exactly the same length as the original and the add and full marks be the same distance from the top as the original. I would measure the total length, the length to add and the length to full with a tape measure. Then measure the one from the boneyard.
