my 390 FE based 410 is complete.
one thing i overlooked prior to building is the dipstick.
this engine is intended for marine use.
and the dipstick tube hole in the cast has been filled in,prior to me
(the placement by the oil filter adapter)
where else can i get an oil reading from? i.e. installing a dipstick somewhere.
short of pulling the pan and installing something.
if the pan has to be pulled, im thinking of installing 2 nipples, and connecting them with a clear line to instantly check oil level and condition.
