Anyone have a spare NOS or good condition T3 dipstick? I believe these are a different length than others, although I'm not quite sure why.

should it not be the same as any 2.5 or 2.2 balance shafted 89+ motor?

T3 parts are nearly all unique to that motor.

4621111 is the dipstick. I have 21 NOS. 480-966-6683

You'd figure the dipstick should be the same for any car with the same oil pan, oil fill specification and balance shaft status, so yes, I'd hope that the T3 would have the same dipstick as the VNT or 2.5 turbo. However, thinking about it now I guess the overall length of the dipstick tube could come into play as well.

Martin, I'll give you a call, I saw you had some but were on vacation until November but I guess I didn't realize it hadn't started yet.

I believe the length on the dip sticks is atleast very close. I have seen atleast one re-bent 8v style to a 16v application. The difference is where the 8v bolts to the water box it would have to go through the intake manifold.
