I had to find the
oil level in my Canton
oil pan so I could mark my dipstick. It is a 7 qt capacity pan. I filled the pan with 7 qt of water which filled both of the sumps. Like they say a picture is worth a thousand words.
The
oil level is just below the area where the crank will pass.
I had 4 and 3/4 qts of oil in the pan. I did a little bearing damage at high rpms. I think the problem was low on oil, oil pickup 5/8" off the bottom of the pan, dipstick not marked correctly and high volume oil pump.
I found out in time and did not hurt the motor. Had the block checked, put new lifters, rockers, rings and bearing in.
One qt of oil cost me $900.
Be sure to check the pickup to pan bottom distance. It should be 1/4" to 3/8" from bottom. You can use playdough or clay to check it.
see ya on the road
