[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 11283, member: 897"] The dipstick tube on my Kubota (763) only presses into the block about an inch. The tube does not extend into the crankcase. I don't recall if the tube extends in to the crankcase on your Isuzu. It was back in October when I gave my brother a hand while he rebuilt an Isuzu out of a 853. It would take a lot of oil pooling in the top of the engine to have your sump level below the stick. Is there a chance the breather is totally plugged and creating a vacuum that is holding the oil in the upper part of the engine? I am trying to think what could be happening by pulling the stick other than to let air in to the engine. What could this pressure change cause inside the engine to let the oil return to the crankcase? Next time before you pull the stick, open the oil fill cap and let some air in the engine. Then pull the dip stick and see if the oil registers correctly. [/QUOTE]
