i got my pacesetter header. it get in the way of the oil dip stick and it looks like changing the oil could be a problem. any ideas?

getting to the drain plug will be a problem?or the oil filter? i have heard of fitment issues with the headers in the past.

if its the oil filter, oil relocation kit.

i bought my supra with an already installed pacesetter header on it. recently during the engine swap, i pulled out the dipstick holder to clean up the block and matched it up to another one, and i found that the dipstick had been bent (curving bend) so it will fit around the header, there was plenty of room, the problem was that you couldnt actully put the dipstick in.

I just put on my Pacesetter header yesterday and ran into the same problem. All I did was just adjust the angle and position of the filler tube. I slighly bent it and turned the position to the right. Just between #3 and #4 exhaust. I am not sure what pacesetter header you have, but it worked for me. I will send you a pic!! Also go with an oil filter that is not as deep, but still the same circumfrence.

did you have to grind the part where it bolts on to the head? or drill any hold i dont think they are big enough?
