I have a 2.0L engine block that has a broken dipstick tube (the tube the dipstick goes into, not the dipstick itself). Is there a way to replace that? Is it just pressed in? Any suggestions?
Thanks, Ken |

I just went through this on my engine case...I ended up cutting it off flush with the
hole in the case and then drilling it out about 1/2" down. I bought a tube from McMaster Carr and pressed it in slightly and shored it with some JB Weld. So far, it's working really well. The original tubes are pressed in and are a bitch to remove. Search around here, there's some threads that cover the topic and I think McMark may have suggested the idea I used. Jon |
