Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 76 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 76 | I have been disassembling my 39 216. So far a stuck valve, a bent push rod and a broken ring gear. I was removing a brass fitting I believe works with oiing the head and the copper tube broke of in the block. How bad is this? Hopefully not much.

The other end of that tube comes out under the side cover. Once it is installed it can't be removed without breaking it. Some of the vendors sell kits but I just buy the tubing and some fittings at the local hardware store. the fitting under the side cover has the line going through it and it is soldered. I just melt the solder and use the fitting over again. There are posts on this and also instructions in the shop manual. Good luck with that good old 216, I think they are great! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 76 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 76 | Thanks for the information. I see where it comes through now. When I broke it I just walked away. I did not want to break anything else.
