It looks like the dipstick tube is 10.75" from open end of tube to the block. I checked this measurement by rolling up a piece of cardboard and slid over the tube until it hit the block.
The part number on the dipstick is 419242 and measures 20.5" from tip to the end of the outside end of the cap that slides over the tube. I did not measure the handle part that extends from there.
If the dipstick tube is too long, I will just fill to 5 quarts and mark the dipstick and cut the tube down to match the full line.
I have some oil on the floor dripping from the block- I hope I did not blow a seal somewhere. Maybe just the excessive oil blew out the breather. I will have to investigate further.
Thanks for your advise and help on this.
