I sent you a dm if you want it. I need the linkage off of it so I can send it to @cruisermatt since you already have yours.

Would love to gift it to you but we are out of the country and the return will be awhile. Mine would need some work as any fluid put in it promptly went into the transfer and then out the back and onto the garage floor. On a bright note, we got to meet up with @zeeklafreek here in Germany for a...

Thank you for this!

So glad I didn’t have to go that route. I used black fipg in a thin layer and tamped it back in with a soft piece of wood so as not to bend the flare end.

Thanks man. That is helpful to know. My project hopefully doesn’t involve me removing my old pan and the new(er) one has a new sealed gasket so I’m hoping I don’t have to go there.

Success! Since it is available from Toyota, I hit it harder, used heat on the insertion point and PB Blaster then welded a tack onto the post to give the vice grips a surface to grip beneath and then whacked from below. I’ll place this in the freezer and heat the insertion point and maybe a...

We that is definitely good to know. That gives me the freedom to whack it a bit harder.

Thanks! Didn’t know that was an option. First heat. second, dob of solder to provide a grippy thing to pound against from beneath until I overhammer it then third find a new one. It’s a plan

Wonder what usually happens when someone rebuilds a motor? Makes me concerned about how to attach or seal another one on here since I don’t have the ability to press fit another one on. And removing the old pan to access it from below won’t help I assume?

So does press fit mean it ain’t coming out and er what next? I’m certain it’s obvious but I’m a total novice here.

The one hanging in the air is the new(er) engine with no dipstick tube and the one with the dipstick tube is my old 3Fe

I edited the above. Thanks for watching. It’s like it is indeed part of the block it’s so tightly attached.

It’s the tube that I’m trying to get out. Not the dipstick. Just realized that I’m the dipstick by not being clear.

That didn’t come across as I intended. Was supposed to be funny. Another fail. I have been pulling with all I got. I’m starting to mar the tube and didn’t want to cause a total failure to derail this project. I was hoping there was a tip that others had used that might be of help. I’m...

You get a C for effort since you replied but an F for helpfulness! Any thoughts @cruisermatt?
