Replacing Dipstick Tube
I know this is a really non-exciting question but the fact is I had to remove the old dipstick tube from my sbc, in the car, and now I am having a super hard time putting in a new one. Any secrets and are there different diameter tubes? Thanks.

Try tapering the end with a bench grinder, but leave the area under the ring almost full diameter. I found that the open end of a combo wrench works well to tap into the fill hole without distorting the tube. Worked for me. Good Luck. Mike P.
