S Shawn Custer Sep 14, 2017 #2 I decided to remove and plug the dipstick tube in the timing cover. It looks like the one in the oil pan is in a better location.:thumbsup:

S Shawn Custer Sep 17, 2017 #4 Thanks Roger! I will be using a Aviad pan so that seals my choice to plug the hole in the timing chain cover.
