Default new oil dipstick funnel ?s
Got a new dipstick and funnel from ECS because both of mine broke. Installed both but funnel is really loose. Clip and manifold hold it in place but still VERY loose (and yes I got all the pieces of the old one out!). Did ECS send the wrong size funnel? Or will it heat up and fit after driving? Or can I just put some electrical or duct tape around it? Or do I need a new one? Can I ask sixteen more questions??? Thx

Default just make sure the angle that you're pushing is straight down onto the male end
a heat cycle might snug it up as well...

i remember feeling the same thing you felt when i did mine.
