LOL @ Top38!
23T, I like that idea. Wanting more details. Was it a simple deal, like cut or drill at an appropriate location where you can see it, (at proper oil level), and epoxy a glass window on the inside? Or more sophisticated? Is it working out useful for you? Dan "Jim" Moore Much too young to feel this damn old!! | |||

I like the T handle valve cover bolts much less. They can loosen up easily and fall off or the cross can fall out only to make it into somebody’s slick. Dang it Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||

I have a wet sump system, a vacuum pump (with a puke tank) and a engine diaper. There are too many things that can cause a loss of oil in the pan and go undetected so a dip stick is a simple effective way to check the oil level. While not checking the oil level I remove the stick and cover the end of the tube with a vacuum cap. There's no down side to having the dip stick, there is however a big down side to running the engine without enough oil in the pan. Just my two cents: Bob | |||

My Dan Olson pan has a dip stick bolt with a bung welded into the pan. It allows you to check the oil level without risk of losing anything. It's not as easy to get to as a normal dipstick, but it works the same. | |||

Sight glass is the way to go. Had Stefs weld one in to a pan when we ordered it. lol @ Al | |||

I just ordered one from grainger and installed it in the sump part of the pan on the drivers side. I put a paint mark on it at the suggested capacity, and another one at the lowest crankshaft level. You can see the oil level drop about 3/4" when the engine starts. You can also tell if the oil looks milky. My other engine has a Dan Olsen pan with the screw-in dipstick.
