well the dip stick was the right length. but it seems as tho its a turbo motor minus the turbo. theres studs on the exhaust manifold and it looks like there is 2 places were the dipstick hole could be. one under the exhaust manifold or more towards the front of the engine. mines towards the front. therefor its reading different parts of the oil pan. ik this isent the original engine so im quite curious as to what the previous owners did

They're all got studs on the head which aren't populated... they're used in Cali spec engines. Does your dipstick have a black handle or yellow?

it has a black handle. what does that matter?

They changed in '89. The earlier ones have just a loop at the top with yellow flame retardant fabric wrapped around it. I do not know it the tube changed. I'll try to get the measurements of the earlier version for comparison. I am doubtful that the length of it would have changed; I suspect the only reason for the change was the easier to use handle and the labeling.

Hmmm.... my 88 has a black handle dipstick. I guess I'll go measure it tomorrow and see what the tube looks like
