How Do I Remove an AMC 304 Dipstick Tube
Removing the dipstick tube from your AMC 304-cubic inch engine allows you to replace a defective tube or install a chrome or custom tube. The 304 engine was used in many AMC models but was primarily the same engine configuration in all of them. The dipstick tube is on the passengers side of the engine and pushes into the block just above the oil pan mounting rail.
Instructions
- 1
Locate the dipstick tube on the passengers side of the engine. The tube runs down to the engine block just above the oil pan.
2Pull the dipstick out of the tube and set it aside. It will be in the way, when you try to remove the tube, if you leave it in place.
3Place an oil drain pan under the engine, just below the tube. This will catch any drips from the engine while the tube is out of the engine block.
4Grasp the dipstick tube at the top with a pair of pliers. Do not crush the tube. Pull the tube up, while wiggling it back and forth, until it comes loose from the block. Lift the tube out of the engine compartment.
