Did you ever drop the sump of your AUB?

Never needed to, didn't have any engine trouble other than electronics.

I knew that many if not most protruded into the crankcase but had thought that they did not go down all the way to the oil level and that the  dipstick protruded, however that was based on the engines which I regularly used to rebuild, X/flows etc which date back 5 decades!

 

If the tube covers the whole length of the dipstick then the false high reading is easier to understand especially if it is a close fit.

'Fraid I can't remember whether dipstick was in or out when that photo was taken. Vaguest of recollections that it stuck out a bit beyond, but not sure.

Looking at the parts listing it does look like @Pete_Ex-Wino photo with the O ring #13 sealing onto the engine block ?
