<p>Gary, fill it to the factory recommended amount, then check the
levels on the dip sticks. FWIW.. if you delete replacing the large
oil return tube on the rear main they seem to leak less after shut
down. It won't affect anything.</p>

<div>My 100 engine was disassembled when I purchased the
car.</div>
<div>I am about to begin the rebuilding of a BN-1 engine,
so I have been taking stock of what I have & what I
need. This invariably leads to surprises &
questions. </div>
<div>I have been told that the 100 dipstick is intended to
be pushed in until the end of the dipstick hits the
bottom of the oil pan. I assume this is true because the
dipstick does not have any "stop" build into it. </div>
<div>I discovered that I have (2) dipsticks as follows:</div>
<div>1. 2.5" from tip to "Max" mark. Overall length 18"</div>
<div>2. 3.1875" from tip to "Max" mark. overall length
19" </div>
<div>Did the 100 have different depth oil pans? Are either
of these dipsticks correct 100 dipsticks?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On a related question, at a recent club meeting a
member stated that his mechanic said the reason 100
engines leak oil is because when they are filled to the
"Max" mark the level of oil in the pan will be above the
"rear seal" (I assume he meant the factory Archimedes
screw type seal) & therefore the oil will leak out
until the level is below the bottom of the rear seal. Is
there any truth to this? </div>
