Anyone know the O-ring size for the dipstick?

Not sure if you ever got your answer but I just needed to replace mine and this size worked perfectly.

Good to know thanks. Back on topic here with ESS specifically lol with the GT350 intake, there's a plugged line and the air inlet tube line. Instead of doing the tee fitting for gen 2, can i just run the BOV off the capped line and inlet tube off the normal inlet tube and be done?

edit: i understand the green thing with two pancakes is a dual check valve but a check valve in which direction or both directions? Does the green thing equalizer pressure when needed? If so, the capped line would give me 100% boost reference with no additional ways of setting off the BOV which would be nice

That green thing is an aspirator. The top part should be black and also should be an open pass through. The GT's use this for the brake booster (I think) but on the GT350 manifolds it's capped off. The brighter portion of the aspirator uses a venturi effect to alter the vacuum by changing diameters. The other end (to the right in pic) just goes to the intake tube before the TB as you showed.

This is a pic from the ESS website of how they hooked things up on a GT350. This is how I plan to run my reference tube for the BOV

EDIT: You could also take that ugly thing out altogether, cap off one of those ports on the manifold (rubber hoses to the left in the pic) and use the other to supply a vacuum block and use the ports for all manner of things (as suggested earlier by sheepdog)

I was still chasing an oil spray issue from the SC. After validating the SC oil level 900 times I took a close look at the dipstick o-ring and noticed there was a small section that was damaged (photo below).

I didn’t lol… thanks.. I picked some up from harbor freight and the one I’m using from that pack is a little thicker and smaller so not sure how long it will last.. at least now I can pickup some that fit a little better. Thanks

Appreciate the picture my friend!

Stock cats from what I’ve read should be fine up to ~800-900hp.. and seem to hold up better than most aftermarket hi-flow cats. I’m still rocking the stock active exhaust w/ just the H-pipe, to afraid to try aftermarket cats from the things I’ve read and don’t want to worry about emissions so I don’t want to go cat-less.

I blew my cats out with 680 hp

Man...PTSD just from looking at the headers

Yeah, I'm glad I'm doing them now lol

I had a hell of a time. The passenger side was a nightmare. Plus figuring out which studs to keep, which had to be removed was trial and error. cross threaded 2 of the motor mount bracket bolts and had to tap them. Then a week after install the damn stage8 locking clips were rattling like crazy. I could hear it at idle. So I just removed the clips all together

Yeah, forget that. Honestly that sounds like a nightmare that I'm sorry you dealt with. I could only imagine the look on your face when that crap happened.

I'm glad I went with the things that I did. BMR K Member, BMR Engine Mounts and the headers to make things easier.

I'm hoping to get the manifold cleaned tomorrow, get the manifold, rails, and injectors mounted. Swap to the 6510 plugs after gaping them. Get the rest of the suspension swapped over to the K member, and get the engine mounted to K member to go up.
