i was trying ta get my oil dip stick tube out and the **** BROKE. it broke off almost flush with the block part where it slips in, what should i do ta get it out? any help is needed, and apreciated. thx.

 

Take a long flathead screwdriver and hammer. Place it against the raised edge that stops it from going further into the block. And tap it out.

 

thanx for the help roc, but i decided ta go a diff. route after breaking off the heads of two screwdrivers, that was bullsh!t. so i used an easy out and spun that sob around till i could get a set of locking needle nose on it and tapped that sucker right out. gm sure did go over kill on the length that it goes in to the pan, SHEESH!!!

 

I think they did that to guide the stick by the windage tray and keep it away from the crank.

 

Wow man! that sucker was really in there! Either that or it's time to buy some better quality screwdrivers like Klein.
Just kidding man, glad you got it out.

 

well cagle i guess if you are taking the dip stick tube out you must be putting those headers on. If you need any help call, i probably won't get dirty but i can supervise since i have one set of SLP's under my belt already.

 

i guess that would make since as to why it was so long. oh and mikey, your a pud. ya i might give ya a holler this weekend, i went ta daves and he suggested that i use some steel dounuts. we'll see what happens. and i figuerd since its easy ill change plugs wires and o2's. hopefully it'll all be ready by wedsday. hadta order a new tube.
