When I got my 914-6 3.2 conversion, it smoked billows. It was way to full of oil. It showed normal on the dip stick. After seeing a few photos, I came to the conclution that the filler neck was set in to high. So my dip stick is wortless. Are all tanks created equal?
I'm going to do a oil change and try to measure out whats in there, now that I have burned off a lot of the excess oil. The smoking has calmed down to a puff. |

just a thought you may not want to run your engine with to much oil...you may push out a seal
the amount depends on if you have an external oil cooler and lines always check it and top it when it is running and on level ground and don't rev it until oil has reached operating temp.. |
