Hey all, as the title says, what's the length of the dipstick for a stock engine in a 1990 wt? If anyone could measure it that would be great, just incase I have some aftermarket shorter dipstick and the engine is only burning oil because the level is too high! |

I'm pretty sure if its a 1990 it'll be a G13BA, mine certainly is... Anyway, I'm at work but I'll measure it when I get home... The other option is, do an oil and filter change then put 4 litres of fresh oil in it. Then she'll be right. |

from the bottom of the cap that sits on the tube the dipstick sits in to the curve on the bottom is 352mm mine is a 94 1.3 hope that makes sense |

Thanks lads, I'll go have a look after dinner or in the morning. I just had a mate who was driving behind me on the way home, pull up at the lights beside me to say "I can smell your rings burning there mate!" so I assume the problem is getting worse because you couldn't really smell it before

Ok so it turns out mine is 306mm for just the metal part of the stick. Which from the replies here seems standard. Bloody thing is worse than a 2 stroke that means, as I've gone from top dot on stick to just touching the stick in half a tank of fuel! Next time I put fuel in it, I'll top the oil up and then measure the drop and check the km it's done. Also still trying to decide what engine to put in, I was all excited about a 4age (or a 4agze but I am too poor for that) but now I'm again of two minds. I'll have to bring up all the pages with power/torque figures e.t.c and weigh it up for benifit vs trouble. EDIT: I do remember having to put in more than the 4 litres of oil when I did the oil change, though a mate of mine who was following me reckoned the smell is horrible from the burning oil, and when I lift off coming down a hill, he could see smoke but from the breather not just the exhaust. If it's coming out the breather it's most definitely rings, I should borrow a compression tester. |

Does anyone know the correct volume of oil for a G16B with a G13 sump? I've been using the G16B tube and dip-stick.
