bent dipstick tube

[jspringator]

When they installed my Rapido Maine longblock, they slightly crimped my dipstick tube on my 5.8L OMC. Dipstick fits fine; oil pump out hose doesn't. Any way to fix it?

I would say "they" should fix it, who are they?

Remove the dip tube and unbend it, if its kinked you can still fix it with a copper slip coupling and soft solder.
