I have a tube here for an engine I am building so if you want an idea of =
the original you can make one:

=20

Take a piece of 3/8=E2=80=9D steel tubing and put a flare on one end.  =
Then cut the tube to a total length of 5 inches.  You will need to crimp =
the last 1 inch of tube to fit into the block or ream out the hole in =
the block a bit.  Epoxy the new tube into the block!  The tube sticks =
out of the block 4 inches and you could also put a little bend in it to =
mimic the original. =20

So, it has nothing of the sort in the way.

Anyway, Like I said "to each his own"

Both options allow for the hole to be closed and the oil to be checked.

One of my race cars is yellow and the other is green.

I love them both the same.

Hi,

=20

I somehow managed to lose the dip stick tube for my latest engine. So, =
what's the consensus:

=20

1. fabricate a tube from some aluminum

2. drill / tap the block for an AN fitting and fab up a dip stick of the =
proper length

=20

???

=20

In other words, I'm looking for suggestions.

=20

Oddly, three engine block cores and no dip stick tubes. What's up with =
that?
