guys need a little help here on a 4.2 6 cylinder engine . I can't find the oil dipstick the tube is missing . Where does it attach to the block? I know its some where on the right side, drivers side of engine block. cant drive this truck till i know it has oil. Thank you

My 97 f150 has the 4.6l v-8 and the dip stick is a cable with an attachment on the end that has the marks on it. I would assume you need to wiggle the cable to center the attachment with the hole in the block to get it to release. After you get it out, then you can put a new tube in that should hold the cable centered so you can pull it out to check it.

Hope this helps???
