Small PITA - another in series of jobs where one just barely manages to find the room to get a bolt started and then tightened, particularly the upper attachment to to the block.

The real lesson for me here is to be more methodical about using the diptstick. I did some practice and found what seems to be the best way to insert it - that is I twist it to the same orientation each time. In the past I would just stick it in willy nilly and sometimes had to shove hard to get it down. Ended up bending it in odd fashion. I think this is more of an issue with the new item. Not the same as the original.
