Measuring the oilpan
We're reassembling the engine tonight, and did a few more measurements on the Canton pan. The side kickouts are about 2.5" deep as measured at the bottom of the pan. The bottom of the windage tray is 3.375". We measured the oil level at 2.5" in the pan, and it came to about 2.75" on the dipstick. The dipstick is notched at 3.625, which corresponds to just above the bottom of the windage tray.
For future - the dipstick is loose, and must be tightened before running the engine.
