i have my engine on a stand and i was seeing if some new headers i bought would fit. i pushed the stick a little 2 far and it broke at the base of where it goes into the block. how do i fix it? do i drill it out. is there something under where i need to unbolt the oil pan to get it out?

also can someone help me identify what kind of engine i have. it had yyy on it but i dont think that means much. it also has f1se 31 and ok27 on the block i cant find the numbers i need there cover in grease and grime. i did pull this off the crank case under where the water pump goes.

If you have it on a stand, would be easy to just pull the pan off and fix it that way

Hi. Welcome to Stangnet!

First, use caps. A forum is NOT Twitter.

The tube for the dipstick is a press-fit. It pushes-in/presses-in the block. So, you can just twist/pull/push the old dipstick tube out.
