Paul,  is there an alternative to the stock dip stick for measuring oil
level?  I am thinking of bringing the ram air to the center of the
plenum but this would block access to the dip stick.  Jerry

Weld a 1/2 inch tube coming out and up from the bottom of the pan along
side the engine someplace.

Also try using the crank angle hole on the front cover for oil filling and
possibly the dip stick too.

Mazda put the breather and dip stick right in the wrong place for our
use. It is also in the wrong place for the RX8 :(. I'll have to have a little
talk with them :)
