Reply to "Dipstick for Kevco oil pan"

dave2811Member

I have the Kevko oil pan, and don't recall having to alter the windage tray for the dip stick. I do remember having to alter the tray to clear the pickup. It has been a few years though. I my memory could be fuzzy.

At the same time I was also fabricating a new dipstick tube and and stick itself. Used 3/8" tubing and a length of plumbing fish tape for the stick, brazed to the handle.

Anyway, my point is. I had no marks on the stick, so I simply filled an empty engine with 8 quarts, ran it to fill the filter, and then marked that level on the stick as 1 QT low. Add another QT, and mark that as full. You can scratch the levels with a file, or drill some holes.

BTW, Russ Fulp is THE MAN when it comes to Clevelands. Built my motor too, and it is perfect.
