Canton Pan is on!
Got the Canton pan on a couple of days ago and thought I'd share a few pics... The second shows the clearancing I had to do to clear the passenger side knock sensor.

Re: Canton Pan is on! (No Go)
Did you check the clearance on the dipstick to windage tray?
Sometimes those are quite tight and block the stick from dropping in fully.
I like mine!

Re: Canton Pan is on! (cprgmr)
I actually use the OEM stick...my full mark is 1/3 of the way up the crosshatched portion. This gives me 7 quarts in the engine.
I would figure either dipstick will not insert fully...the windage tray is the stopper. Just try your stock one as the engine is sitting there. Should be pretty obvious if it won't go in that last inch or so...

Re: Canton Pan is on! (No Go)
My stock dipstick didn't work well in the pan. So I bought one from Canton, p/n 20-852. It doesn't go into the block. It threads into the 1/2" fitting on top of the batwing on the drivers side. So then you have to plug the hole in your block where the stock dipstick tube is. Good luck on that one.

I'll bet a dab of JB Weld would plug that hole just fine! :)

what is everyone else doing? what canton says, or going by the stock dipstick? if i go by my dipstick, it takes 8.25 quarts with a filter change for the sump to be full after sitting overnight.
btw, i verified my dipstick reads correctly, so canton is definitely running the oil level lower than stock.

Re: Canton Pan is on! (MSR)
I am using the stock dipstick in mine but a modification had to be made to the tube to get it work correctly. The base had to be cut off a little if I remember correctly.

so you're trusting what canton says? the pan is the same depth as stock, and their pickup is the same height as stock, so i'm not sure what to do about that. 7 qts in mine is only barely to the crosshatch (i run a PF1218 filter, which has more capacity than a PF52). this makes me nervous.

Once the entire system has been drained, it takes 8.5 qts to fill mine half way up the hatch marks on the OEM dipstick.
