Ok so I'm putting a 1.9 back together after
asking around and reading anything else to look
at before putting the case together and it looks
Like I get to be the one who has the  future
advice.

Where in anyone's instructions is the topic of
broken off dipstick tube in case discussed?

 I have'nt found it- because that's what I
discovered after its all sealed up- there's about
an inch or so of tube in the dipstick hole, as I
remember seeing  broken dipstick tube in the box
(This was a basket case) with brazing on the end.

So it had broken, and the PO brazed it.

I have a good replacement tube. How do you remove
the broken part still in the case.
there's about 1/4 inch above the case.

Can it be driven down and out- I still can
retrieve it as the cylinders are'nt in yet.

I'll be relieved to know I can just drive it out
thru the bottom.
