The real question is - what was stock? =20
=20
What was the original stock Tiger engine angle?
=20
Did a brand new Tiger read the correct oil level back in the day?
=20
My next experiment will be how much do I need to jack up the front of my
Tiger to obtain the correct dipstick reading with 4 qts in the sump.
I just don't know when I will have time to do that experiment.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Dipstick and oil level report
That raises the question what can cause the engine to tilt very far =
from
stock.....missing the thick washers on the motor mounts, worn motor =
mounts,
incorrect (inferior) motor mounts, using a non standard or worn or =
broken
tranny mount, ? Anything else? Or a non stock oil pan?

With the oil pan level
10 qts - level is at the rear main seal lip of the oil pan
=20
Tilted 2 degrees down at front of engine - fluid level to oil pick up =
screen
relationship
=20
1pt - level is below the dipstick - just getting the oil pick up screen =
wet
1Qt - level is about 1/8" on the dipstick - covers about 2/3 of the oil
pick up screen
3pt - level is about 1/4" on the dipstick - covers about 3/4 of the =
screen
2Qt - level is about 1/8" below ADD line - oil pick up screen assembly =

5pt - level is about 1/16" above ADD line - oil pick up screen assembly =

3Qt - level is about 1/16" above the Mid Line
=20
This indicates that if you have a similar engine angle situation you =
better
start think about an oil change if the dipstick oil level read between =
the
ADD line and the Mid line. You are at the 2 to 3 Qts oil in the sump. =
You
definitely need an oil add or change if the oil level reading is near =
the
ADD line meaning about 2 Qts oil in the sump.
