[Tigers] Dipstick and oil level report

[CoolVT at aol.com]

That raises the question  what  can cause the engine to  tilt very far from 
stock.....missing the thick washers on the motor mounts, worn  motor 
mounts, incorrect (inferior) motor mounts,  using a non standard or  worn or 
broken tranny mount, ? Anything else?  Or a non stock oil  pan?

Update
 
With  the oil pan level
10  qts - level is at the rear main seal lip of the oil  pan
 
Tilted 2 degrees down at front of engine - fluid  level to oil pick up 
screen relationship
 
1pt  - level is below the dipstick - just getting the oil pick up screen  
wet
1Qt  -  level is about 1/8" on the dipstick - covers about 2/3 of the oil 
pick  up screen
3pt  - level is about 1/4" on the dipstick - covers about 3/4 of the  screen
2Qt  - level is about 1/8" below ADD line - oil pick up screen assembly is 
just  covered
5pt  - level is about 1/16" above ADD line - oil pick up screen assembly is 
 covered
3Qt  - level is about 1/16" above the Mid Line
 
This  indicates that if you have a similar engine angle situation you 
better  start think about an oil change if the dipstick oil level read between 
the ADD  line and the Mid line.  You are at the 2 to 3 Qts oil in the sump.   
You definitely need an oil add or change if the oil level reading is near  
the ADD line meaning about 2 Qts oil in the sump.
