22RTE block taking 6 qts
I've got a 22RTE that's been converted to 22RE. She won't show full on the dipstick unless 6 qts are added after oil change with filter (standard size). Measuring on level ground, dipstick is 23.5". Did the 22RTE blocks hold more oil? I understand that they are a little different than the 22RE block.

i used to have a 22rte and though i don't know a whole lot about it, know the block itself IS slightly different, so that may be why. Definitely has different internal oil passages to compensate for turbo.
when you converted, did you remove all the turbo's oiling accessories? what about an external oil filter - you have one of those? i know those take up extra oil.
also, just curious - what did you do about the compression difference? did you swap in a 22re head?

This is exactly what my dipstick looks like. And it measures 23.5" from top to bottom. It seats properly all the way down. I'm so confused.
