   Fitted my janspeed manifold last night to my vtr but i cant get the dipstick between the branches to bolt it back in its original place? did anyone else manage to get it between?
   
   Seriously considering taking an angle grinder to my new manifold
   
   Any advice is welcome as i am trying to do this atm.

   Thanks for the replies everyone.
   
   For people searching: I got it out in the end after you unbolt it the whole tube twists and pulls out with a bit of force. Clean it up, refit it before you do up the studs holding the manifold to the head.
