Gould,
Congratulations, the new heart should give the old boat a new shine. How
do they move the dip stick, plug the old hole and drill in a new one?

There's a spot on both sides of the pan casting where the dipstick could be
attached. This is important on a marine engine, since with twins you want to
try to set both dipsticks to the centerline.

I guess they will drill or puch out the spot on the port side, attach the
dipstick tube, and weld the other side shut.
