Dipstick drill guide needed
If you have the dipstick drill guide, would you mind letting me borrow it so that I can move the dipstick on my block. I'll return it in perfect condition!
Thanks

What year is your donor engine? With my '97 Tacoma engine, I didn't have to drill anything, it was just a plug that had to be driven out.
I know that later castings didn't even include that.

agree...
I second the no-need for guide unless one is really not steady or really not good at lining things up.
06/99 engine with no plug, I had no trouble drilling by sight. I first placed some flat bar stock at right angle to the plug flat (the block extrusion) to get a visual idea of the angle, then used a right-angle cordless drill (smaller than corded), first center-punching and then using liberal amounts of oil. Be sure and place a (or a few) magnet around the hole below and plug things as able.
