Is the old tube busted off in the block?
By Dave Shoe - 10/28/2001 12:20:29 PM; IP 216.243.158.107
The tube commonly breaks off just outside the block when you try to remove it. Are you sure that remanents of the old tube haven't broken off in the block? Perhaps when the machine shop broke it, they filed the remaining stub flush to the block so you wouldn't notice until after you paid? (just kidding)

Sometimes the tube slides in easily and needs sealer, other times its a snug fit. You shouldn't have to deal with heat or cold to get it to go in, however.

JMO,
Shoe.
