this is interesting!
did you also measure how far below center line the counter weights (or windage tray) would be?
for the adaiavin 9 qt pan shown, that would only have 2 1/2 inches of oil! that would show full with only 5 1/2 qts.
one really needs to know how close to the crank the oil level can be. I would THINK that desired level would also depend on how the engine is used since the "level" will squew based upon accelerations .
