I'm trading my 1st gen dip stick and housing for the 2nd gen version because it's got the taller housing which will help avoid contact with the alternator + cables. I also don't want the beat up rubber stopper on mine to fall into the oil pan when I check the oil someday.
I have removed the 2nd gen tube from doner, but I can't get the tube on my engine to come out of the block so easy. I don't see a set screw of any kind unless it's hidden from view. Is there an easy way to remove this shorter version tube from block?
