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 |

Well, when you figure it out, be sure that make a LOT of them.
I would be up for two. |

QUOTE(stugray @ May 9 2014, 06:03 AM)  Well, when you figure it out, be sure that make a LOT of them. I would be up for two. OK, So it took me six months to get back to the dipstick fix, but here it is and super simple. in fact so simple I'm just going to pass it along. The parts are available at "FLAPS" you need the edellman 5/16 compression fitting to 1/4 pipe, 5/16 steel brake line, a long 3/8 drill bit and a long 7/16 drill bit. and a 1/4 NPT pipe tap. You drill out the original tube with the 3/8 drill then, Drill the hole to 7/16 diameter keeping the drill straight. Tap the hole to 1/4 pipe screw in the fitting figure the height that you need to have from your fitting to get 5 15/16 of tube sticking out. (Check that if you want, don't rely on my number, I don't want to hear about someone having the wrong oil level. The dipstick slides right through the fitting and the tube. Good luck and great driving everybody.
