Same tube as the LA's.  Any dealer should have one.

Source for replacement dipstick if needed?  Yes the short block will go to a local “old school” machine shop for rebuild and balance, same that did the heads.

Morning Ricky,

It seems like there are a couple of oil pan bolts screwed into the front cover? Drive the dipstick tube out from the bottom. Use a drift punch of the same diameter or grind down a bolt to the correct diameter for a punch. I would "completely" strip that block and get it hot tanked.

No turning back now - have the engine out to rebuild the bottom end.  Had the heads done 2 years ago but still too much blow-by.

 

Any trick to getting to timing cover off?  I removed 3 bolts on one side and 2 on the other.  Seems snug with oil pan on yet, pretty encrusted with dirt oil to see what else needs to come off. 

 

Does the dipstick tube stay during a rebuild, if not how do you remove it?

 

Thanks - First engine work in over 30 years - and then it was not a ’62 Dodge I was working on.  ; )
