Micky when it starts to come out of the dipstick hole there is too much in.

tried that it wont turnover

i just fitted mine... i think i put about 4 litres in. I put enough in for it to get onto the dipstick, then topped it up to the max.

[Guest micky bigthumbs]

i think ive seen 3.7 ltrs on a thread but i'll stick 3.7 in and see where it is on the dipstick if its near the top of max i'll leave it

If you have not altered the dipstick then as long as it is going fully home the max level is still the upper level of the where the oil should be filled to. Capacity will be whatever it is.

Are you just testing us Micky as Nigel says fill it to the full line on the dipstick if you have the side extension on then it will be very little different from before i.e.3.75 ltr inc filter.

[Guest micky bigthumbs]

no side box just guessing

Mick

[Guest salty_monk]

It will be about 3.2 - 3.3 ltrs without a side box.

just changed oil, 4.5 litres, with an RS sump, and a tin of STP engine flush

[Guest micky bigthumbs]

Went to work in coventry ....I must have overdone the oil ..it sounded like the crank was slapping oil..and i think i made the oil pick up pipe to long ..oil starvation or not enough getting into the top rail ...i think ive bent a valve.....

[enforcer]

Oh God Micky...how much more can you take????

[Guest Battery Bill]

Ooops :boohoo: :boohoo:

 

 

Hopefully not too serious

 

Good luck
