Weird....i just posted in the Internals section about replacing the rings because of blow by. I'm sick of the dip stick popping out and blowing oil everywhere. I clamped my dipstick in temporarily but i hate the idea period. If you have to clamp, crimp or whatever, then you're not getting to the real source of the problem. I think of the dipstick as a pressure release valve. If it's clamped in there, then your sealing up the motor tight. That can't be good. I sure don't want the side of my block to open up and become the new pressure release valve.
