[Tigers] original dip stick dimensions

[CoolVT at aol.com]

I thought  the prescribed amount was  5 quarts and not  5 liters.  Could 
that be the problem?

My car  is a stock Tiger with 260 engine.  I have several dipsticks that  
look
original to my series 1 tiger but when I change the oil  those  dip sticks
show I have over filled the engine if I try to get the  proscribed 5 liters
in.

I know there is variability in the refill -  how much was left how clear the
remote lines were etc.

Also, I know  that if the car has just been run that will account for about 
a
= inch on  the stick due to oil being up in the engine and remote filter.

..I  assume the stick is designed to be checked just after the engine has  
be
run?



I need the correct distance to the full mark from  the bottom inside the 
cap.
Mine is 22 =

Would also help to know the  correct length of the tube.  Mine is 14 7/8
from the top of the tube  straightish to the timing chain cover.
