Dipstick Calibration
Need help in determining the proper oil level on the dipstick. I'm running a KC/Pond 482 with a Canton Racing Oil Pan and want to make sure I do not over-add; I'm always looking at oil pressure as well for an additional safeguard... idle ~ 40-45 lbs, at cruise 50-60 lbs.. with Valvoline 10W40
My current oil level is at the add mark just as I received maybe a tick lower... Thanks... |
Call KCR and Ask
Rosco Call and ask KCR what pan they added to the motor. Should be a 7 quart one. If you are running an oil cooler, add 1 quart for lines and cooler. When you get the correct level put a 1/32 drill hole at that level so you know if the motor is burning of leaken oil from driving. Better to be a quart over full than under and going around turns and suck AIR. Rick L. I run my motor 2 quarts over. Talk to KCR about adding a accusump to your car as a peroiler. This will save the motor on dry startups where the most wear and tear is done. I run 1 quart of Lucas oil suppliment to also help stop dry starts on other parts and pivot places. Rick L.
