Hi,
Has anyone tried removing the dipstick funnel on the A20A block? I got mine damaged when i sent it to the machine shop. Cant seem to insert my dipstick in anymore. I have another spare engine laying in my store. Trouble is i can't seem to pull them off. Most of the newer cars comes with rubber o-rings, but i doubt its the same on this engine.
I have already removed the size 12mm bolt on the block and also the clamp that holds it. It's pretty tight and doesn't seem to come off even a tiny bit. I tried using vise grip and it only rotates on the same point. Doesn't seem to come off even a tiny bit.
I thought of using a 8mm socket/hammer and drive it out from the oil sump side. But before i damage anything, just wanted to get some second opinion on this.
Thanks.
