Check out that link I posted...I did the O-ring replacement on a different car. So I have no idea what the Ford size is. I have had no issues with my GT350 dipstick yet.
Gotcha
I would like to find a replacement with dual o-rings. Just moving to aluminum is not going to make a huge difference. Although it would look much cooler. ;)
It would have been better to secure it a with a spring rather than a zip-tie. The spring mounted device would work as well with a better looking solution.This was a common issue in the viper racing league. We did not have O-rings on our dipsticks. We simply used zip-ties to secure the dipstick in place.
Did you have any issues installing the new handle? Same length when compared to the OEM? Secure?Thanks for all of the replies guys.
I ordered the Cravenspeed dipstick handle replacement and installed it. It seems much tighter than the factory dipstick handle. I will report back next week to let you guys know if it pops out during this coming weekend's track event.
I did not have any issues installing the Cravenspeed handle. The section that is inserted looks to be the same length as the original. It seems much tighter than the factory dipstick handle, so I guess it is secure, but I will know more after this weekend.Did you have any issues installing the new handle?

Thanks!
Those hoses are very stiff, and can't be bent or kinked without a lot of force. Mine are not kinked.I would recommend looking at the oil separators to see if the hoses are kinked. I recall some people reversing the hoses to make a less abrupt transition.
It doesn't look like the Ford Performance hoses can be reversed. Are yours the Ford Performance hoses? If so, can you please post a picture to illustrate how they can be reversed?^ yes, my FP passenger separator hose is reversed for that very reason
The instructions from Ford show the passenger side install. Just about everyone agrees that it would better if the hose was reversed from what is shown in the picture. Hose connectors are the same on each side so no problem doing it the either way.Those hoses are very stiff, and can't be bent or kinked without a lot of force. Mine are not kinked.
