Okay, then from the input it sounds as though the oil on the dipstick should read high (high as in a full oil pan plus the added amount of oil contained in the filter)when the engine is dead cold correct? From my observations, the AC L-1 oil filter is of the type that allows oil to drain from the canister. At this point I am as protective of my rebuilt engine as a father of a knock out pretty daughter going on her first date. I can just envision piston skirts slapping oil in the bottom of the crankcase. Should the oil level be checked after say 1-5 minutes after the engine is stopped?
Thanks for the input.
