A double Post. Needed to make a new post. Okay finally wound up pulling the oil pan back off to see what gives. The crankshaft balancer is right in the path of the dipstick tube. I had to put kind of a "S" shape in the tube to clear the rear edge of the balancer. Now the dipstick goes in kinda hard. I kept tweaking the tube slightly to make the dipstick slide in. My question is. Does anyone remember having to modify the dipstick tube curviture when using the service counterbalancer? It's just something I'd like to think I wasn't the only one to come across this issue. Now I'm stuck tryin' to find a 172D oil pan gasket locally. bjr

No need to hunt for a pan gasket. Just get a tube of black 3M silicone gasket maker and run a nice bead all the way around the pan and stick it on. Don't even have to remove the old gasket if you don't want to. Just wipe off all the oil etc from the mating surfaces and do it.

I've never ever seen the inside of one of those engines, but just as a friend looking over your sholder...are you sure you have the balancer in right?
