BJ8 dipstick tube

["Greg Wilkinson" <gregwilkinson@adelphia.net>]

Hi Everyone,
How far should the dipstick tube project out from the block? When tapping
the new tube in, I never felt it hit any kind of "stop". I don't know if I
went too far or not far enough. Does anyone have the length from the block
to the tip of the flare? I'd hate to put the wrong amount of oil in the
engine from so simple a mistake. I'm installing a oil cooler so I can't just
add the recommended amount from the manual. Many thanks for any help.

Happy Holidays,
Greg
