Description
This TSP braided stainless steel engine oil dipstick is designed for compatible Chevrolet Gen III LS-based V8 applications. In addition to 5.7L LS1 applications, it can be used with 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L LS-based engines when paired with a compatible TSP oil pan designed for this dipstick configuration.
The dipstick enters at the engine block and features a flexible braided stainless steel tube, making it well suited for engine swaps and installations where header clearance can make a rigid factory-style dipstick difficult to access.
Measuring 18-1/4 inches, it features a chrome-finished aluminum handle for a clean appearance. The dipstick is a fixed-length, non-locking design.
Applications
Chevrolet Gen III LS-based V8 engines, including 5.7L (346 CID) LS1 applications. Also compatible with 4.8L (294 CID), 5.3L (325 CID), and 6.0L (364 CID) LS-based engines when used with a compatible TSP oil pan.
Common applications include 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette, 1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro, and 1998-2002 Pontiac Firebird with the 5.7L LS1, as well as LS swaps and truck-based 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L engines equipped with a compatible TSP oil pan.
Installation
Designed to install through the engine block and work with compatible TSP oil pan configurations. The flexible braided stainless steel tube provides additional routing flexibility and clearance around headers and other engine components.
For 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L truck-based engines, a compatible TSP oil pan is required. Verify oil pan and dipstick compatibility before installation.
