I have had the same results, if they do move/rotate, its' less than 1/8 
turn from original position....It's just one of those email list arguments 
I try to stay out of as the objectionable to me person making the most 
adamant arguments seems to be very inflexible, and there are no absolutes 
IMHO, when it comes to engines. but it is an interesting subject, so 
thought I would ask on the LSR list, cause I sure don't >really< don't want 
to get into it on the other list....as the LSR list is pretty evenhanded, 
except for the purple suit stuff and the rear steer discussions, of 
course......
