Thanks Davis - I will try that tomorrow. I was told that a good mechanic can be identified by a beat-up hammer handle....I now know what he meant! -Lu- --- In BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Davis Martin <martin- davis@xxxx> wrote: > Lu, > The Oli dipstick tube comes out by taping it out from the inside of the engine out. Tap it lightly, and twist it as you go it should come out fairly easy.

All except for the oil stick tunnel - how does that come off? It doesn't seem to be screwed in and runs through the block on the side. (Not the oil screen part that goes into the oil pan, but the small tube that the oil level check stick fits in). Help me? Removed the timing chain, camshaft, crankshaft, and motor mounts.
