Hi members, i need a favour from one of you that owns a mk2 pinto. I have currently fitted a different box to my pinto and when all is mounted the engine is not sitting exactly level, the back of it is titled down at the moment. I have checked with a friends mk2 who has a Capri v6 box behind his pinto and his engine also doesn't sit level. Will i have issues or are they supposed to sit this way for oil drainage purposes?

Any help you could provide would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

Ez.

It's supposed to sit that way to have correct pinion angles between your gearbox & diff. Angle on the rocker cover should be about 6 degrees

Thanks a bunch for that i was worried that i wasnt getting the auto up high enough...i will check with a spirit level...

No problems. I did mine with magnetic angle finder but if you have a smart phone just download an app :D

Yep i got a smart phone, how accurate that will be im not sure but ill test it for ****s and giggles.

Cheers.

Works really well. You can check if it's calibrated by sitting the phone on a spirit level.

Ahh cool ill be sure to do it soon, what the actual name of the app by the way?

Go to ur app store and type bubble level or spirit level , there's 1000s out there .
I used one called clinometer or something like that as it's got a 360deg and bubble level .

Cool cheers I'll look into it.👍

iPhones have one bult into the compass app.
