Bronco L6-300 4.9L VIN Y 1-bbl (1983)
Figure 1 - Dipstick/Cap Assemblies
A new center vent dipstick (Figure 1) has been released to prevent spillage. It includes one additional baffle, a deep set "O" ring, and a 3/16" lower fluid
level. For high performance vehicles with a 5.0L H.O. or 2.3L EFI turbo, a separate rubber baffle is added to the dipstick.
Before installing a new dipstick/cap assembly, make certain that spillage was not caused by an overfill condition.
1.
Check return line at the pump for looseness and tighten clamp as necessary.
2.
Check fluid level with new dipstick and adjust fluid level between "add" and "cold full" with fluid at room temperature.
3.
If it is a high performance vehicle as noted above, install baffle on dipstick as illustrated in Figure 1.
NOTE:
A gap between the filler neck and the cap is normal on reservoirs originally using the old dipstick. The deep set "O" ring compensates for this.
