Someone please measure dipstick Ok...so I went to check the oil level on my car and pulled out a dipstick that was missing the tip, my dipstick was apparently sheared off by my rotating assembly. On my motor I'm running a Jeg's oil pan that came with a crankscraper that interfers with the placement of the dipstick so during it's assembly I noticed this and bent down the scraper in that area...Apparently it still caused some interference and probably caused the tip of dipstick to bend upwards into the rotation of the assembly. Good news is oil pressure is normal.
