You are ok. Some guys put a little black RTV on the last part of the tube by the raised ring.

Hi Guys,


When installing the engine oil dipstick tube in my new 350, is it supposed to somehow be pressed in the block more than hand tight?  The retainer tab to a manifold bolt lines up with it when just stuck in.  Is this right?

You'll be glad to know that my silicone plug wires do not contact the exhaust manifolds. 

 

Thanks,
