Pardon me for not quite understanding, but what 1" section did you cut? Do you mean that there is a section of the oil dipstick guide tube that is 1" thick and you cut that? You're not cutting one of the 1" nipples on the tee, are you? And I assume you have to cut out a length of the dipstick guide tube that is equal to the length of the exposed tee, so that the two mounting brackets for the guide tube will still fit on the engine properly. Is that correct?
And what do you mean with regard to drilling through the 1/2" nipple to open the drain? Does the tee come with the 1/2" nipple blocked off? I don't think I've seen a tee come with one of the tees blocked off from the manufacturer, but I suppose it could be. Or are you talking about running a drill bit through it to clean up any epoxy drips that might be plugging it up?
Sorry for not quite understanding.
