43n Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I have a 1937 six cylinder and a 1949 Straight eight but only one dipstick and I do not remember which engine it came from.. Could it be the same for either engine? This is my first attempt to try using this forum hopefully I have submitted my information properly. I do not have either car just the engines with transmissions which are in running condition thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

43n Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Thank you Kornkurt for your rapid reply and the good news that I can use the dipstick in either engine! Since the oil pan was off the 8 I was able to see the dipstick Full Mark lining up approximately with the top of the oil cleaner rim. Later with the oil pan back on I added 5 quarts of oil and noticed the dipstick was at the full Mark like it should be. Thanks again for this valuable Flathead Forum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
