I've had to rotate my dipstick tube 90° counterclockwise to clear the new manifold, but now the dipstick runs through runners 2 and 3, rubbing on 3. Can I bend the dipstick to clear the runners without touching, or will the heat hurt the dipstick handle/seal or other parts? I'm either going to have it recoated with ceramic or wrapped and sealed, but still worry about this part. Any advice?
Thanks!
