<DIV><STRONG>That raises the question what can cause the engine to
tilt very far from stock.....missing the thick washers on the motor mounts,
worn motor mounts, incorrect (inferior) motor mounts, using a non
standard or worn or broken tranny mount, ? Anything else? Or a non stock
oil pan?</STRONG></DIV>

angle situation you better start think about an oil change if the
dipstick oil level read between the ADD line and the Mid line. You are
at the 2 to 3 Qts oil in the sump. You definitely need an oil add or
change if the oil level reading is near the ADD line meaning about
2 Qts oil in the sump.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
