    Your dipstick drawing looks different than what I'm using and looking at mine again I think the dot is probably the full mark?! I was using the top cutout, so apparently I'm closer to the half mark at 5.5 quarts. Sorry if that's what's causing your grief, I'll update my other post with this picture.

    The top of the "aftermarket" indention is where mine was with 5.5 quarts. I plan to fill it until it reaches the top of the cutout, hopefully about 6 quarts, that should keep the oil just at or slightly below the top of the baffle.

    I wouldn't get hung up on the 5.5 number, the more oil the better. I think the full mark to parallel with the top of the baffle will be safe, I don't know how high is too much. Hoveringuy might have some better input.

    You could just make a new mark on the dipstick and send it, as is. Save quite a bit of work.
    Ahh that makes sense, thanks!

    And you are correct, I actually modeled out the M20 dipstick and not the M50. I need to update my model, thanks for pointing that out.

    I was able to rotate the dipstick while in the guide tube and mark a sharpie mark, which happens to be just a little bit above the little domed feature.

      Removed the support cross members to bolt directly on to the block upside down.

        Looks like I have some slight interference in these areas at the moment.

        Oh and I have access to a lathe now but it is not convenient to get to. I cut my oil pick up o-ring groove too shallow so it won't fit into the oil pump, oops.

            I bet the gasket will take care of that interference, don't forget to account for it for pickup depth.

            Glad to see you got the bedplate on to the next guy!
