Default Re: what is the purpose of the oil dipper at back of motor?

you obviously have the oil pan off, make sure that tube and the gallery that it screws into are clean, no dead gunk in there.

that drain tube is effective only if some idiot has not restricted the oil filler tube with steel wool or other materials in an attempt to stop a blow by problem. that is when crankcase pressure build and force oil out the rear main.
