Re: 78 f32 factory swim platform

Hi there---- the supports on mine look to be the same size and locations, only they are wood of some sort, maybe teak I hope. The platform is all wood from one side to the other with no metal except the rub rail around the edge, Wish I had some pics but have not had boat long enuf--- Mike

Re: 1971 F-26 Repower Diesel or Gas?

Just an idea for the dipstick ------ cut off what you need for clearance with a tubing cutter then cut the same amount from the end of the dipstick itself---double check on oil fill and you are done---hope this helps , Mike

As getaway said, and most oil filters I believe have check valves to stop drain back to the pan to stop dry starts.One other thing to remember is the oil will expand more than you think when it is hot.If you have one of those infrared heat guns -- shoot the pan on each engine and compare--good tools...
