Boeing. Naw, I will pick up a real one from parts heaven over in Hayward Calif tomorrow. My 951 is sitting next to the 968 in the driveway so I used it to get a reading today using that measurement I was given by spokaman

I have never has the oil pan off of one of these. I will assume there is a wire mesh screen on the suction line leading to the oil pump inlet so I dont need to really worry about the broken section of dip stick that fell into the sump, RIGHT?????

I meant the oil pan cover, sorry. Haven't done it but from memory looked pretty easy?

After you disconnect the tie rods, control arms (A arms) and power steering hoses. The cross member (with the steering rack) and the oil pan are a breeze!
