Another question. What does anyone know about the lower oil dipstick tube. I haven't had to mess with that, before. I'm not sure if it's in there, since they didn't give us the top tube.

Can I see that from the opening above, with a flashlight? Or from below, by dropping the pan?

If it isn't there, can I press it in without having to take the engine out? I know the tube has a lip on one end. Maybe I can press it in from below by dropping pan? Or from above? I'm not sure if that's doable because of that lip.
