crud on dipstick 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be bobd324 on  Mon Dec 10 10:51 CST 2007 [RELATED]

it turns out there was oil on the dipstick but i kept wiping it off with the whitish crud. I checked the flametrap today ( it had been removed from housing like newer models) and the area wasnt built up too badly, but i cleaned it anyways. When i sit the oil fill cap on without tightening and started it"both warm and cold" the cap wont flutter or move at all, so it seems like there may not be any emissions blockage. Is the dipstick tube able to be removed to clean the crud from the bottom area of the tube? Is it possible that i have the normal winter condensation buildup that is making me think of all sorts of bad issues? thanks bobd324
