Well, my 94 behaves similar in that after driving for a while, dip stick will pull up by about 1/4". I think my 91, even when the car was brand new, did the same thing.
I did not pay much attention to this figuring it was pressure build up in the crankcase. I remember reading that design engineers had some issue with high pressure LT5 was generating in the crankcase and resorted to some "creative" solutions.
Am I to understand most other LT5s do not push the dipstick out a little after spirited driving?
