Wait till it drains back into the pan and see if it reads full.

I checked it again a half an hour later. Still down a quart and a half.

I see your from Ma. who built the motor??...

I built my motor. Wouldn't have it any other way. For the machining stuff I used a guy name Peter in Melrose. He's awesome and knows his ****. Very reasonable in price.

8qt pan and a new filter on a fresh build. Your going to come up short with just 8qts.

I figured a half a quart or even a full quart, but a quart and a half seems excessive. I do have a Chinese chrome dipstick but i compared it to my factory original and they match perfectly.
