I had to shorten the dipstick tube to fit under the SJ cowl. Now I must shorten the dipstick and dowel it into position.
Two questions:
- Is the Lycoming calibration mark for Quarts poured into a dry crank case, or is it the mark for oil level AFTER oil has drained (or not drained) from the pump,filter, oil galleries etc. ?
- Does the Lycoming mark reference a level engine for trigear airplanes. Since I have the opportunity, I may mark the stick for tail dragger attitude and note it in the POH.
