    Changing Dipstick Plug

    There is a metal cylinder that goes through the block to hold the dipstick and I don't know how to get it out to put it in my new engine. Have any of you guys had to change one? I was just going to beat it out of the block, but I didn't want to risk breaking anything.

    6m Crank in a 7mgte

    Guys, I'm sorry to have started a strange commotion, but I'm the one with the wrong #s.

    Another JDM VS. USDM Thread.

    In the other thread though some of the guys were saying something about a return heater hose or something, but I didn't know if they had to deal with that problem because they didn't have another engine to pull off of.

    Another JDM VS. USDM Thread.

    Sorry guys, I tried to post on the other one, but the thread was over 185 days old. I posted anyway, but with no reply. So my ? is; if I have a blown USDM 7M-GTE and buy a JDM 7M-GTE, is there anything I have to do besides swap over my US parts to make everything run and fit right?
