.. speaking of dipsticks... the one for this 948 resembles a large
cotter pin. If that part is correct than why doesn't it sit fully in
the hole? There is a flat washer that I would guess is supposed to
limit how far into the pan the dipstick goes but that part is a full
3 inches up from the hole. Wrong dipstick? Wrong hole.. no comment
please.. ?
Thanks again,
Lester
