<x-charset iso-8859-1>>Isn't that the point of the stopper being there? To give you an accurate measure of the oil level? Or does the dipstick bottom out on the case, with the stopper actually just being a "plug" to keep oil from going up the tube? > I always thought it was just a splash guard and that the dipstick bottomed out on the metal tube where it turns 90 degrees at the bottom. But I was interested so... I walked out to my '67 to check things out, my stopper is a little loose but slides along the rod. I pushed it all the way down, then put the dip stick in, the stopper did not move up at all so it cannot be bottoming out on anything. I also noticed the dipstick compresses even if the stopper is all the way at the top.
