[elky] Dipstick

I've lost the Hot Rodding Manual!
If I had the manual surely there would have been at least a page
devoted to "Items you need when building a Small Block Chevy from a
bare block" (at which point I would have reconsidered building from a
bare block, the list is LONG.)
When I built my 406 I bought a chrome dipstick & tube from the local
parts store. At various times said dipstick has come in contact with
the crankshaft (!). Until just moments ago this was a mystery to me,
until I discovered a part known as the "lower dipstick tube"
(GM3951600). Having never known about this part I certainly never
installed one...
The question I have: can this lower dipstick tube be installed from
the top? Some say it can, that you install this lower tube then
install the upper tube.
Anyone know?
Thanks!
Chris
