<div style="font-size: 10pt;"><div dir="auto">I have a dipstick curiosity.</div><div dir="auto">I think every 1275 I remember had a plastic tube stuck into the block which the dipstick went into. The 1275 I have here has a brass piece ( it falls out , but it is machined to fit into the block) instead of the plastic tube and someone changed the marks on the dipstick. </div><div dir="auto">I can eventualy mark a dipstick with proper marks once I have an assembled motor with the right amount of oil in the sump. </div><div dir="auto">If the brass piece I have is a correct piece from a year I'm not familiar with .. Ok I will use it. But I can not trust the dipstick to be correct.</div><div dir="auto">So, if anyone has one of these types in their 1275 could you please send me the measurement from the step on the dipstick ( where it stops going into the brass tube) down to the scribed " full" mark? I would appreciate this before I go through cleaning up what I have and fabricating a hold down to retain it at speed. </div><div dir="auto">Thank you!</div><div dir="auto">Chuck</div><div dir="auto">I really am going to finish this car!</div><div dir="auto">( at times I thought it was going to finish me!) </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><div dir="auto" style="font-size:9pt;"><i>Sent from my LG Mobile</i></div></div></div>
