Oil Level reading w/ lift kit
I thought I read on here that if you install a lift kit, your oil indicator stick will not read correctly anymore. Anyone have any input....

Re: Oil Level reading w/ lift kit
It's because the engine cradle, with the lift on it that you and I both have, now tilts slightly down in the back because of the leaf spring flip. I've had my motor apart and that oil splasher in my KF82 motor almost touches the bottom of the crankcase so I'm sure it's still lubing. Your '93 FE290 has an oiling system so I'm not sure how much of a danger that may or may not be.
Some guys have modified the front engine cradle bracket so as to lower the front of the motor back down to level it out. I think Lockman1 did this, he posted a pic in another thread. |

Re: Oil Level reading w/ lift kit
That looks like a pretty simple fix. I will check tonight and see what other problems lowering the motor like LOCKMAN1 I might run into. I put another 8ounces in it last night because it was reading low - only to second guess myself today not considering the tilt of the motor on a lifted cart. Thanks
