The dipstick on my 1964 3020 Diesel is the kind with two O-rings and a black knob on top that turns almost one revolution to tighten.
The other day it blew out of the crankcase. Not sure if I didn't have it all the way tight or what. In any case, I replaced the O-rings. But if I give it a good yank, I can pull it out of the engine. Is that normal? Can I adjust the threaded compression mechanism at the top of the dipstick?
