Quick Question. I am disassembleing a 216 and need to know if the dipstick tube is threaded or just pushed into the block. It does not immediately give but am afraid of crimping not knowing how it's installed.
Thanks,

If you wnt/need to remve it, put a Phillips head screwsdriver (a #2 as I recall) in the tube, then grip with pliers/vice grips (the screwdriver prevents crushing). Then give it a twist and pull. It'll come right out. You can also drive it back inusing the same size screwdriver. Just lightly tap it back in. If it does gat damaged, 5/15" brake line makes an exellent replacement.
