RE: 340 engine oil capacity, off topic?

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've had 3 different tubes and dipsticks on my poly. I had to calibrate 
mine myself. The one in it now was very long and I actually had to cut 
it off and remark it by about 1". It is correct now.

Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.  I.e., send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.  Thanks!
