13.25" from the base of the seal that sits outside the tube to the tip. It is the same as the FD, which I use on mine, which has a much shorter handle portion. I just think it looks better.

This is good information, definitely worth adding to the 20B FAQ as one of the 'hidden' details of a conversion. Banzai, could you please add in measurements for where the low and full marks are in relation to the seal's lip that you originally measured from? I would greatly like to see both the FD & 20B's details here.

I just measured my S4NA FC's dipstick, finding it is 14" when measured as Banzai did. The FULL mark is at 12 9/16" while the LOW mark is at 13 1/4" when measured from the seal's upper lip.

Because the FC's dipstick goes further in than the FD's one does, it skews the reading higher than it actually is, giving a false sense of security on a stock 20B pan. Full on the FC one means it is actually low as I found out today upon locating this thread.

This thread and its reasoning also confirms that the FD oil leaks at the pan also affect the 20B as well.
