I need to mark my dipstick with a full mark that
takes the plate thickness into account, about a 1/2" I guess.
Hi
Steve,
As I
mentioned to Dave, you can only change the dipstick level mark if you
also extended the pickup tube by 1/2" when you installed it. (snip)
Cheers,

Umm.. the spacer is a good idea.. but what about... simply taking a
torch to the pickup tube, heating it cherry red and straightening it
just a tad... it keeps from having to ensure sealing on TWO flange
surfaces instead of one (both sides of the spacer).. and it still
shouldn't impinge on the mount/splash plate if installed.
For what its worth, there is a handful of pickup tubes in the garage,
between my 3 cores and the junk core Chris had (that I have now..) and
NONE of the pickup tubes are the same length.. and there is a
collective 1/4" variation amongst the group of them. One of em was so
"long" it had sludge in the screen from being against the bottom of the
pan... I think that one was plently long/deep.
