can the oil tube that holds the dipstick hit anything in the inside of the engine to cause a kinda grinding noise? bc ever sice i got my tube and stick in today it started to make that noise. i pulled the stick nothing wrong no signs of anything hitting it. it almost sounds like it's brake related but it does it upon going forward around 1000 to 1800 rpms then goes away . mybe i'll check the drums bc i know they need attention
if it is a stock dipstick i doubt it is your problem as it would be way below the crank centerline
Maybe the stick is loose and rattling around in the tube. Pull the stick, plug the hole with something else (or not), and see if the noise is still there.
ok i'll try that see what gives
