Engine tilt and New Photos in Stanley's Restoration

Stanley_P · 07-08-2002

Everyone that looks at my engine in the Opel ask if it is tilted to much to one side. I've never noticed before but it looks like it does. Everything bolted up like it did when I took it out. Now I'm wondering if something is wrong. Look at my photo in the gallery.
I'm sure that is the way it was, but can anyone confirm this to ease my pain......

Thanks,
Stanley

The tilt looks about right to me. Bob posted the range of angles he has seen over the years on the yahoogroups list a year or so back. Got a protractor?

I notice you powder coated your exhaust manifold. Ordinary powder coat melts ~400F. This might be a problem

A friend of mine talked me out of powder coating the exhaust. So I just painted it with cast iron exhaust manifold paint. I hope it holds.......Thanks
