[Healeys] Dipstick/Jaquar Qality

[Richard Collins]

I had the same issue with my BN7 when I got it. The stick was too short and while I put the manual quantity in, nothing registered. Result was way over filling when I realized the issue .
Drained it and started over once I got a correct stick.

Regards,
Richard C

Back in my happy Sprite days I frequented a shop that let us use their tools and space to work on our own cars.

One day I noticed a Jaguar XK140 DroipHead Coupe gathering dust in a corner. The young lady who owned it had burned up the motor. I bought it and asked the owner to rebuild the engine.

When I drove it the oil pressure would begin to fluctuate. I brought it back to the shop and John checked the oil lever. The new DipStick read full. He added some oil go calm the oil gage,and off I went.

Same thing a<mailto:Healeys at autox.team.net>ll over again.. John went through the process three times before he got and idea. The drained all the oil from the crankcase and refilled with the  proper amount of oil. Then he checked with the new dipstick.

Problem solved: In spite of the part number being stamped on the stick, the mark was in the wrong place. It showed full when there was little oil in the sump!

Now being convinced, John found the problem and off we went to new adventures.
