Sidekick engines tilt on driver side ?
#10
first off you are welcome here,and to ask anything, all to happy to help you, !!!!
im 3000 miles from home, below the equator, fun in the sun....
and have no access to my thousand photos, oops , i FTP'd to my server, found more.

that photo above lacks a reference point.
is engine tilted or is my camera.

the cam is dead center of the 8v head, but not the 16v (16 IS OFF SET)
how about this view
and the pan interference.

show a photo of yours?
tilts can be 1 degree or say 30degres.
so it's a matter of degree (no pun)

ill up load more to the gallery ,under g16 title.

i sadly dont have photo that ,camera level and aligned to center line of car
all photos bad.. and casual
no problem at all and is good question.
very good.
some of these cars run many engine, in one bay
and mounts are custom to this car. to fit g16 with no problems
that is for sure.. some engineer had to work all that out, and torque reaction effects.
as you know when you accelerate the pan oil wants to move to the rear, so the deep part of pan must be at the rear and due to the rear slopping of the engine, then the pan hits the front axle. so if the engine is too tall they tilt it to one side.
that is how i think they did it; using this body and frame.
they do that with mounts
and on the esteem , different mounts.

not saying its tilted or not. if i had not sold it,would photo it , with my , carpenters level. dead ahead, photos are 2d and poor.
one 4wd kick i had the rear transmission cross member looked like dog leg "bent offroading", and engine tilted..

look here?

the engine itself is not tilted left or right
the mounts may be, small tilt
if you look at rear view above, do you see tilt? left or right?'

note how pan is sculpted to fit around front drive pinion flange.
see those rear block wings, see them tilt, i cant see any....? can you
i could fit long pocket level behind the pan and measure tilt easy, but mines gone 7 years ago... now have JK jeep, (yes traitor.)

have you gone under and gandered at trans cross member, is it smashes up. like some are, wrecked.

see that flange to pan gap?
if the engine tilts to far left that gets too close. and would eat the pan to death,
best is to look more carefully at all parts down then, loose, bent, missing.
one guy last week said, i need a rear mount"?

it is a 3 point mounting system.
