I have a Lycoming IO-360 B1B that has no valid marking stamps on the dipstick to indicate oil quantity. The only stamp is towards the bottom with an "8" and obviously this won't work. I bought the RV-8 like this so I think I need a new dipstick. I think this is what I need: but not the tube, just the dipstick.
LW-14758* (75736 long oil tube)
or LW-14780** (75767 intermediate tube)
I haven't measured the length of the current dipstick but even if I did I'm not sure it would be relevant since this one isn't evidently standard. I would like to get one that is stamped for 6 and 8 qts at the proper position. The dipstick is scribed at what I think is about 7 qts but is kind of hard to read as it is a light scribe. Any advice where to get one?
