We have a CIH 695 with the the D239 diesel engine that the oil dipstick broke off in. I've priced a replacement, it's pretty expensive for just a dipstick. I figured at the next oil change I would drop the pan off and retrieve the end to hopefully make a repair to it, or make a new one using the old pieces for a pattern. Question I have is that the online parts breakdown doesn't show a gasket for this lower part of the pan I would be taking off, it shows one for the upper part of the pan (next to the block). Was wondering if anyone has "been there, done that" and knows if there is a gasket or if it is metal on metal. This pan is cast parts, two pieces. Thanks, Paul
