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 have made a special steel drift that is slightly smaller than the tube in diameter and has a squared off shoulder on it, you remove the round plate on the bottom of the engine and it slides up inside the tube from the bottom and you can hammer the tube out from below and install the new tube from above. Even works well on a lift with the engine in the car. "Drain the oil first though"
