Great thread, lots of useful info here. I'm still confused about how to install my dipstick tube pieces, however. Hopefully you can help with the myriad questions below:
I have GME157 (upper) and GME157B (lower) for use on a non-A/C 400 with windage tray. I got these pieces from KRE, but they look identical to your pictures.
On my upper tube, the expanded part of the tube (at the very top) appears to be far too large to fit through the hole in the block. Is this tube necessarily supposed to be inserted from the inside of the block? Should it have been done before I put the main caps on?
I installed the lower tube into the hole in the windage tray, so that the kink in the tube is between the block and the windage tray. Is this correct? In this position, the lower tube is about half-way into the hole in the block, leaving half of the hole for the upper tube.
Also...

The bottom part of my upper tube, and the top part of my lower tube, are exactly the same size. Am I missing something?
I will likely attach pics soon to show you what I am seeing.
