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 |

My case had a bus dipstick tube. I removed it with a torch and vise-grips.
Tapped in a 914 tube and was good to go. |

The bus (and 411/412) version has the dipstick tube going through the alternator tin and into the oil filler assembly, which is bolted to the end of the case right next to the taco plate. The Cap'n |
