This will probably sound kind of weird but can somebody tell me the length of the dipstick and tube for a 87 Chevy 350 Vortec engine? I installed a new chrome oil pan and chrome dipstick and tube.I had to put in 7 quarts of oil to reach the full mark. My engine started smoking after a couple miles of driving, so I'm thinking that it must be over full. I think the dipstick may be too short or the tube too long.Is that possible?
