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
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.
