Next in thread: Wil Andrews: "Re: single vs dual dipsticks"
I believe the two-dipstick engine would provide statistically more accurate
results since in any type of seaway, the rolling of the vessel would cause
the crankcase oil level to move back and forth, seeking a level state
relative to the earth, whereby dipstick indications from both sides of the
engine could be averaged for the true level. A single dipstick would
appear to present random measurements in this situation. Now if you could
just figure out a way to pull both dipsticks simultaneously, which would be
a requirement.
Whoever started this thread will live to regret it. At least I hope so.
