If it isn't one thing it's another (I love it!) While checking Ginger's oil
today, the entire dip-stick tube came out of the block along with the
dip-stick. What I found was about 1-1/4" of correct diameter tubing brazed to
a larger diameter tube. There is no way to secure it in the block. Right now
it is in there with a generous amount of copper colored Permatex, but I don't
see this as a long term solution.
How is the tube normally retained? Is the hole in the block tapered and the
tube press fit? Are the dip-stick tubes available anywhere? None of my
catalogs list them. Would a tube for a GT-6 work? I notice VB does list
those.
Listers, shower me with wisdom.
Thanks All,
Ken St.John
