Well I believe I have found my problem here thanks to you amigos. I rechecked my tube and dipstick and I am showing 6.50" on the tube from the block to the top and the stick is only 9.00" long. DA DA no wonder I don't see any oil.I'm about to start the engine and with no oil on the stick I said ah ah.. I'm wondering how the other guy read it, before me? Any way guess I'll go looking for a tube and stick. THANKS AGAIN GANG OL'55.. :p
