One of the most frequent sources of oil pan leaks is from the factory dipstick adapter in the side of the oil pan. We've seen a number of interesting repairs on the stock dipstick adapter, most involving some sort of sealant like silicone...and some even involving epoxy type products like JBWeld. We've also seen the dipstick adapter nut over-tightened to the point of distorting the adapter inside the pan (in such a way that it would never seal again, even with a new o-ring).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether you've got an oil leak now, or you're building a new engine and don't want to deal with one in the future, this Dipstick Adapter Repair kit is the once and for all solution! This kit completely eliminates the stock dipstick adapter, replacing it with a new machined aluminum adapter that features a double o-ring seal on the OUTSIDE of the oil pan. This kit can be installed with the oil pan still on the engine, and the engine still in the truck. Best of all, if the o-rings in this kit should ever leak, this adapter can be quickly and easily removed and reinstalled with new o-rings...all from outside the oil pan!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"floatedbox-div\"\u003eContents of the Strictly Diesel Dipstick Adapter Repair Kit:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul-bulleted-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBillet Aluminum Adapter (\u003cb\u003eUS Sourced\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eT6061)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined Steel Backing Plate\/Brace (1018 Cold Rolled Bar Stock)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eALL Machining and Assembly in US Facility by US Workers!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless Steel Screws with Copper Sealing Washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble O-Ring Set for a Positive Seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalls Quickly\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWithout Oil Pan or Engine Removal\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuickly and Easily Serviced If Necessary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eALL\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFord 7.3L Trucks, Excursions and Vans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrect New Ford Dipstick Tube O-Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed Full Color Installation Instructions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatented Design - US Patents : #9,285,259 \u0026amp; #9,671,272\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: This product may require modification to fit engines using HYPERMAX connecting rods or using an AFTERMARKET Engine Girdle across the main caps.
