Add mark on new and old dipstick is at the same spot. The max mark was lowerer on new stick to prevent getting oil to close to crankshaft. Your machine should be fine for it was only the '96 and some '97's that needed dipstick. You may be able to pull new dipstick out without twisting but it should pull hard. Yea I think as long as sprocket teeth all lined up your chains will be fine. Good luck
