dipstick tube question
OK, this will sound like a stupid question but I just went to check my
oil level. I pulled on the dipstick and the whole dipstick *and* the tube it goes into came right out. I looked at the tube and don't see anything that looks like would keep it in place. When I reinserted the tube, it goes waaaaay down inside of the hole, like there's nothing to keep it in about the position it needs to be in. So now since I don't know how deep the tube goes in the hole, any dipstick reading is meaningless. Anybody ever had this happen to them? It's a 304. Thank you. -- Travis http://jeepadventures.dyndns.org/jeep.html Happy trails!!! :wq! |

I guess what I need is the exact measurement of how many inches the dipstick tube protrudes out of the block so that I can fashion something to hold my dipstick tube in the right place. Thanks so much to anyone who could provide me with this measurement. -- Travis http://jeepadventures.dyndns.org/jeep.html Happy trails!!! :wq! |
