Installation oljesticksrör 428cui

[ChevChelios]

Hej,

jag undrar om/hur oljesticksröret på en 1969 428 behöver tätas mot blocket. Tacksam för svar/tips på utförande/utrustning/materiel.

mvh

Njaee, jag har två FE och inte haft några läckageproblem vid oljeröret. Det ligger inget tryck där vad jag vet.

Brukar det inte sitta en O-ring som tätar mot block/motor kåpa.

Du kan ha rätt "Osäker på O-ring," men jag har för mig att röret sitter ganska tajt i blocket.

In the interests of maintaining a cleaner engine compartment, a good seal at the bottom of the tube is desirable. But I'm not partial to introducing silicone sealant anywhere in the oiling system, or where it can end up there! 

Using a Q-tip, apply a light coating of Permatex #2 gasket cement to the inside of the tube hole in the block. Apply another coating on the bottom end of the tube itself. 

Insert the tube into the block hole, using hand pressure and aligning things as best you can. Then drop a short #2 Phillips screwdriver (with a plastic handle) into the top end of the tube, so the handle rests against the tube itself. Give it one or two good raps with a hammer, to seat the tube fully.

If the retaining bracket's hole doesn't align correctly with the front exhaust manifold bolt hole on #5 cylinder, do any of the following to correct that:

- straighten or re-bend the tube slightly, using hand pressure
- bend the bracket up or down to suit, using a pair of pliers
- file the bracket's bolt hole slightly until it aligns

Then install your dipstick and check for binding as it's inserted. Also check for the lower end hitting on any of the crank/rods/windage tray/oil pickup/sump baffles.
