·well this is just great...the long tube that my oil dipstick goes into broke off in the block. it broke off at the base of the hole and part of it is stuck inside the hole that leads into the pan. theres not enough of it showing to get a grab on it with vice grips and i cant wedge anything under the little lip of whats left of the tube. i called mustang country and they say that it has to be drilled out....called my mechanic and he said whatever you do dont drill it out. he suggested taking a sheetmetal screw and screwing it into the hole very slowly and then tapping it gently out with a hammer.
has this happend to anyone else here? perhaps i should get that doofas award....or maybe we can start the "i screwed myself award" if it matters ive got a 65 289, everything is on the block, its in the car and im pissed off.
its just been one of those days...so much for getting to fire it up this weekend...
