When installing K-Series Billet Oil Dip Stick please verify the stock
levels with the mark on your new K-Tuned dip stick. You can scribe new
marks if needed. There are too many variations with angles of motors,
oil pans, and variations.
The current trend in Honda builds seems
to be somewhat focused on clean details in the engine bay. With that
said, we think most K owners would agree that the OEM orange dipstick on
the K engine looks completely out of place, especially on a custom
valve cover in a super clean engine bay. The JDM black dipstick is a
slight improvement, but the height still has some fitment problems on
some chassis. After seeing these unfinished looking dipsticks way too
often, we decided it was time to offer something on a higher level to
our customers.
The DC / K-Tuned Billet Oil Dipstick was designed
to follow the exact contour of the OEM valve cover, giving it a smooth,
shaved look. Along the bottom of front edge is a small flare, which is
just enough for removal. Look closer and you'll notice a small hole
located at the center of the flared front edge. This can be used to
attach a spring tie down on boosted applications where increased
crankcase pressures can blow out the dipstick.
Starting with the
6061 billet aluminum top, our signature DC logo is engraved after
anodizing. All the remaining parts are 100% stainless steel, including
the base, wire and level indicator. The base seals properly with 2
o-rings just like OEM and the level indicator has 2 markings on it,
again matching OEM. Available for both K20 and K24 engines in 5 colors
plus raw aluminum for those who might be interested in polishing or a
custom color match.
