  2. Turbo Dodge Help
    So right after we got the motor 90% assembled (excluding the turbo), the dipstick tube got pushed on a little and shattered. Aside from getting the crap out of the engine, does anyone know where to get a replacement for it? It's a 2.2 (originally) turbo 1 motor.

    So from all the info I'm gathering, I see that the oil restrictor that presses into the block to restrict the amount of oil fed to the head was used from '86+. My question is, if you're running a slider cam, would it actually be better not to use the restrictor? The only negative I can see is...
