Sidekick engines tilt on driver side ?
#4
any tilt there is for torque reaction
take car with a/t trans
put in low
all brakes hard set
hood up , car point in clear safe direction
observer to left side of engine bay.
driver floors the throttle. see that engine move, now.
. lots of movement. (called the stall test in FSM , a/t chapters)
and needs room to do this, and many engines are pre tilted to make parts fit better over there or lower hood lines
or have huge intake manifold or all those.

but a V engine this hopeless.but many inline engines have natural tilt, from a little to huge seen a Plymouth slant 6?

for sure hood lines tops list
many sports cars with a huge inline engines,tilt.
this engine is used,in other cars too.

the cams bearings drain, with no problem , you can park anywhere and they drain perfectly
even in san francisco. (shocking tilts)

i wish now my tripod had my spirit level attached.

engine block pan off , crank out and sitting on a bench.
no tilt
head on, no tilt or offsets
but in car mounts dictate this

what matters is when the engine flexs to the right, it dont hit things.
it does move.
the right mount compresses and left stretches.
