I put a Lokar dipstick in and did not cut the windage tray,it was dragging against the cank and I caught it before it wore into. I drained the oil and found lot's of steel filings . The windage tray was routing the dipstick toward the crank. That was bad news. As Pat stated you have to cut a notch in the windage tray in order for the dipstick to reach the oil . I was not getting a true reading. The engine builder forgot to notch the Tray in my engine.Big mistake.
