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 |

QUOTE and install the new tube from above Have you found the correct tube to use for reinstallation? I am guessing that some sort of rigid brake line works, just havent looked very hard. |

Not yet, however I have also thought that turning a slightly heavier walled tube down to the correct OD leaving a step where the correct installed height should be is a possibility. I will be working on this solution in the short term as two of the Type IV cases I'm now align boring need dip stick tubes. So I've got to do something. John |
