The 6 cylinder configuration we are talking about here has all that stuff
on the opposite side.
So, it has nothing of the sort in the way.
Anyway, Like I said "to each his own"
Both options allow for the hole to be closed and the oil to be checked.
One of my race cars is yellow and the other is green.
I love them both the same.
