Prolly not, but if you ever want to take it
out again it might be better to use loctite 515 or 518
instead of epoxy. :)

Re: Dipstick tube?
I put some RTV on the tube when I installed the dipstick tube in my 360.
IIRC it shouldn't need anything to "seal" it.

Re: Dipstick tube?
Is there anyway to clean the pickup screen without removing the oil pan?
