Anyone got any tips/tricks/ideas on how to get the oil dipstick back on? I have BBK shorties, and it like just doesn't want to go in. I can get the tip in, but I can't spin it so it sits flush against the block to the bolt.

Bend/re-shape it...
+1 plus black RTV if it still wont seal properly.
You're talking about getting the tube back in the block? IIRC there's a little lip at the end of the tube that will stop it from going in any further once it's actually in the block.....you can take an appropriate sized open end wrench and rest it on that lip and tap the wrench with a hammer to tap the tube in. Make sure it's not getting hung up on anything before you do that though.....don't wanna bugger up the tube if it doesn't wanna go.
