SUCCESS! Broken Dipstick Tube Removal Write up
Update... So I have tried pulling and yanking on the 12" all thread I have screwed into the broken tube. I pulled so hard using the alternator bracket as for leverage I actually have started to chew up the alternator bracket. I took it to a machine shop and asked if he can either trim down the new tube'd diameter enough to wedge it in the old tube or maybe even take the all thread and weld the end of the dipstick to the end of it and I'll just use the all thread as a dipstick. The all thread stays in there very well and it goes in about 3/4". The guy at the machine shop suggested I just leave it as is with the all thread in there and don't mess with it. He said it's not worth it. He says he builds race engines all the time and never puts dip sticks in there as they are prone to blowing out. So for now I'm riding around with a nice shiny all thread sticking out from the block between the alternator and A/C compressor. Guess it will be a conversation starter at the local cruise in... :)
