Replaced the leaking manifolds on my truck (02 5.4L )with Edelbrock shorties and removed the dipstick in order to get the driver side header in. Problem is that when I removed the dipstick it broke off flush with the block (I know this is my own fault for not taking my time ). Are there any tricks/tools that would ease the removal of the piece still in the block? Thanks.

 

I have heard of people putting compressed air through the oil fill hole and that gave enough pressure to push it out.

What I did was thread in a screw and pried on the screw and it came right out. Worked 2 times on my truck already.

 

Thanks, I'll try threading a bolt in there and prying on it.
