Subject: Re: [Fot] TR6 Dip Stick Tube
Hi,
I somehow managed to lose the dip stick tube for my latest engine. =
So, what's the consensus:
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
???
In other words, I'm looking for suggestions.
Oddly, three engine block cores and no dip stick tubes. What's up =
with that?

Bob Lang
