dipstick tube problems... PLEASE HELP
ok, i screwed up big time. while reinstalling my tranny, i accidentally got the dipstick tube pinched in between the floorboard and the tranny. it creased the tube enought that the dipstick wont go through it. i dont mind buying a new tube but for some reason i cant get this one out of the car. the tranny's out and outta the way and the bolt in the back of the head is out but with the way the tube is bent, i wont come out. now, i dont mind cutting it to get it out but i wanna be able to get the new one in. so what all must i take off to get the new one in (coil packs, valve covers, etc)? OR is there some aftermarket dipstick and tube that i can buy that would work easier?
