Have a listen to this video and take a look at the pic....

Now the tube is obviously no where near in it's original position because the manifold/PAS pump bracket fouls it, so I'm thinking the stick itself is pointing a different direction and maybe hitting the crank or a rod? Can't remember where it pokes out in relation to anything else though so not sure.
What have you other ZT owners that run the black top water pump done with your dip stick tubes?
Cheers!
