sierra ss Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Well. Finally got the broken end of the dipstick tube out. The reason why it broke off is due to the fact that it already had a crack in it around the groove were the o-ring goes. I got to looking and it had actually been leaking a tiny bit. Also, luckily we were able to remove the broken manifold bolt without removing the head. So with no bad luck i should be able to fire it up this evening. Whish me luck guys. Also when i went to the dealer to get a new dipstick tube and the the man asked what had happend and i told him. He then showed me a service bullitin were gm had a problem with with diptube developing a crack in it and leaking. When installing a new one if the old one broke gm fix was to push it into the pan and leave it, if there was no way to get it out? Has anyone else heard of this?

Joe Roknic Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) Headers sound nice. I ended up getting a new dipstick tube when my headers were put on. I noticed in the video you posted your check engine light was on, did that happen right after your header install?
