Pete, I Have a corvair engine but I too can not remove the dip stick without removing the top cowl. I considered several options to modify it where this could be done but ultimately decided not to do it. My reasoning is that if you have access to the dip stick you will become lazy and rarely remove the top cowl. By removing the top cowl this allows you to see what is going on under the hood and do a more thorough inspection other than just checking the oil. More than once have I discovered a problem when I was checking the oil. Mark Jones (N886MJ) Stevens Point, WI E-mail: flyk...@charter.net Web: www.flykr2s.com
