Some of the CCV videos brush on it, but don't show much on this. Basically what I need to know is how much do I need to remove in order to get to it and what the best way to get to it is. It doesn't help that I am short, and that's a long way to reach down there to seat the O ring!
Just remove the typical stuff; the air plumbing, relocate the e-box, etc. Install the o-ring on the dipstick tube a couple of inches from the bottom before putting the tube in the pan. Lube it with silicone spray and it will slide up and self seat.
