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 wanted to add, it depends on where your engine is....I wouldn't try to drill out my dipstick tube if the engine is still in the car. I would be afraid of getting metal shavings down in the case. The idea I used works well with the case split....you can see what you're doing and then clean it up. I've read that some folks flare a tube and fit it onto the broken tube but I didn't try that out.
