Yup call me stupid, I took the oilpan dipstick out to paint it, the intent was to put it away so I would not lose it, guess what, I cant find it...I quess that comes with age
anyway can somebody measure tier an post it

thanks bill in red deer

I have a 53 239 but it should be the same. It's 11 3/4 inches to the stop,
1 1/4 to the add line and 2 1/2 to the full line

Thanks bob53, what is the diameter of the dipstick, bill in red deer

It just crossed my mind (old age also) I have one on my spare engine, pm me with your mailing address and I'll send you a dipstick.
Bob

I don't want to spoil the party but I think the dipstick on a 50 and 53 is not the same, in 50 I think there is no tube to set higher the dipstick from the block, on a 53 yes, so if I'm right the dipstick should not be the same.

Not that much a problem if a spare is free to you, you can cut it to the right lenght.

Is there anything you dont know Fitz ?, lol
Ok, if i measured the length of the tube that would be the amount to cut off correct?
Bob

Bob I dont think mine had a tube, I will have another look for mine before we consider cutting yours up will keep you informed bill in red deer

Yes Bob, you should be OK, the pan between those year's engine is I think the same.

And yes I don't know something, is when the bodyman will work back on the body !!!!

Sorry to hear about troubles with your bodyman,I hope its not as bad as the last guy

No it's not really trouble, he work outside on call for shop maintenance, so sometime the "outside job" is longer than expected...
