--> Engines-List message posted by: "Dave Ford" <dford@michweb.net>

I have an overhauled O360A1A that I just put its first 6 quarts of oil in.  The
dipstick shows that it has 5 quarts in it.  No oil has yet circulated through
the oil lines or filter.  This core when received did not have a dipstick or
tube, I ordered a new tube #75767 from an engine shop. It is approx. 11 1/2" from
tip of tube to engine base.  The dipstick was a used one from (supposedly)
an O360A1A 8 quart system (it is imprinted "8" on top).  I don't know if I have
the wrong dipstick or tube, any suggestions?
