Any mechanics here tonight? I have a question about removing dipstick tube...?

Boy, I hate it that you still had no luck! Looking on the net everyone seems to rave on using compressed air down the PCV valve, but I haven't tried it. That is the squarish black box between the radiator and engine is the PCV valve, it has one pipe going to the rocker cover and one going to the sump. Pull pipe to the sump off with pliers and blow down there with an airgun (if you don't know anyone with an air compressor try the tyre inflator at a gas station, may not work but its free).I still like removing the dipstick tube but definately try pliers down the tube and the air method first. Email me when you finaly get it out coz i'm keen to know what works.
