What kind of screw holds the dipstick on to the valve cover?
Somehow lost the screw that holds the dipstick tube against the driver's side valve/rocker cover.
I've tried a number of machine thread and self tapping screws,....but no luck.
Can anyone tell me if this is a small bolt/machine thread screw or a self tapping screw? If it's a machine screw,........is it SAE or Metric Thread? (Since there are various fasteners on the engine that are SAE thread still,.....from back when this was a Buick engine)
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Well, I saw threads inside the hole of the VC. But turns out it is a blunt nose self tapping screw, just does not a sharp point on it like a sheet metal screw. And it is not a thread cutting screw like those that have 8-32 threads and a tapered nose that actualy cuts threads like a tap when inserted. Sorry, it was dark, and I screwed up.
