I need dimensions of a BJ8 dipstick. Basically the length of how much thats down in pan. Also the length of tube sticking out of block. Location of marks on stick would be great help too. If someone has an extra laying around they dont need...that would be even better. I am sure there is more I could use, but this would get me going for now. Thanks

Also the length of tube sticking out of block.----4 1/2"

Location of marks on stick would be great help too.--MAX mark is ~ 16" below the brass washer.MIN Mark is 5/8" futher down from the MAX mark.

If someone has an extra laying around they dont need...that would be even better. I am sure there is more I could use, but this would get me going for now. Thanks

Hope this helps---Keoke
 
So its 17 3/8 overall length that fits down the tube?
