dipstick tube won't go into the block

Clean the end of the tube with steel wool, spray WD-40 on the end and in the hole, push the tube in as far as it will go, then put a piece of 2x4 on top of it, and gently hit the 2x4 with a hammer. That should do it.

Don't forget to sweet talk it while slamming it in.

Give it two glasses of wine and tell it you love it.....
I,m sorry...:toothy10:

Got it in, without the "is it in yet"? Turns out that the new chrome one was a little oversized, pulled one out of the 273 and it fits good in the 318.

Guess experience goes along way.

Sure glad someone's getting at least something "in" :toothy10:

Put the tube in the freezer, go quickly from freezer to block. That`ll usually do it. I like how how you headed off all the smart-*** replies that you knew were coming with that question.

Sweet talk? Come on man, just lube that stick up and shove it in.

That's also referred to as "The Whooops" tends to not be a good thing in the long run.
