Have destroyed 2 oil stick tubes trying to insert them in a 304 V8 for my CJ7. It seems that there is an inner tube in the hole in the block. Is there suppose to be an inner shim inside the block hole or does the tube simply push in the block hole.
It is funny that I can get the 4.5 inch section that goes into to block to go about 3 inches but have to tap or beat the rest in which colapses the tube. I am thinking I may have to drop the oil pan to get the tube in.

Any help will be much appreciated
