John, I adjusted my dipstick by cutting down the dipstic tube by the same length as the thickness of the engine mount plate. In my case 1/2”.

I'm assuming you have a plate, sandwiched between the oil pan and engine.  If so, did you extend the oil pickup a half inch to make up for the plate?  In my case, I used the stock pickup, and figure that I'll just have a half inch of oil that I can't pick up.  Since the pickup wasn't changed, the oil dipstick calibration is still correct.
 
Just curious.
