Setting up dipstick

MopaR&D said

True that, I had to use a hammer to get mine in, distorted the top end of the tube a tad but not enough to cause issues (rubber mallet didn't have enough oomph). I didn't see any chrome flake off but I wasn't really looking.

I ended up ordering a chrome one because it's the only one I could find but I'm going to wire brush all the chrome off the part that goes into the block. I'm also probably going to wire brush off the area on the dipstick itself where it reads the oil level.
