Ok. Lets see how much grief I get over this post.
Leave the lower tube out. Cut an old Dipstick short so it will not protrude into the pan and hit the crank. Store the correct dipstick in the trunk, and only use it to check the oil level.
How to determine the oil level. On the initial fill add the correct amount of oil (5 or 6 qts), and make sure the filter is full. Use the correct length dipstick and mark it where the oil level is.
Been there, done that. Last time I let a builder assembly one of my engines. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
You can chachi it in or do it correctly, its up to you... If it was a Ford motor, I might consider the suggestion above..
