[Healeys] Dip Stick Tube

[Richard Collins]

Yup, thought I had overfilled my BN7 then discovered the tube was missing.
Norm Nock fixed us up, "drove it in" (no threads) and problem solved. Quarts
equaled what the manual stated.

The tube for the dip stick is not screwed in.  It is pressed in.  Just pick
 drill bit that is a snug fit inside the tube.  Push it in, grip the tube w/
 a vice-grip pliers, and whack the pliers w/ a hammer.  The tube will pop
 right out.  At least this is true for 3000 engines.
