Thanks for the additional information.
Pick up pipe to oil pump gasket was fitted OK as did have previous problem with no oil pressure. Once fitted correctly got loads of pressure. As said frothing did occur when added extra oil so yes crank was spinning through it hence drained some off but level now below the didpstick mark.
The tube is well pushed in and sealed as was loose, therefore, cannot measure length protruding from the end but will measure length of dipstick from 'bump' stop to min mark to see if it matches 44.8.

Just seen the pictures posted by Pajsh which really answers the question very nicely thank you
Tube top to block is as above at 394mm. Bump to max is 370mm and bump to min is 396mm on 'rod' type dipstick. Have bought Burton Power flexible/spiral dipstick with measurements at 378mm and 405mm repectively.

Have measured the tube length above crank at 394mm and lenght of dipstick from end to bump stop at 420mm.
Now have an oil leak from sump so need to replace the gasket, therefore, another 'Q'. Do you know what the length should be between the lowest point of the crank journal into the sump and the max oil level - 10-15mm? When known I will then be able to measure what level from top of sump it should be, fill with oil to this mark, empty into measuring jug, refit sump and add this amount of oil then hopefully be able to see where it is on dipstick to create new max level or perhaps cut down tube until dipstick is at max level.
Regards
Chris
