That how it sits. Looking like it leaning to one side.

The engine does tilt to the side a little. Here's a pic of my engine.

did anybody take the oil pan off and maybe put it on backwards? i'm in the process of installing my sr, the oil pan sits parallel to the sway bar.

Not meaning to hijack the thread but , Silvia007 I'm digging the blacked out intercooler with the GReedy logo. Very cool.

Yeah, and the motor is at a slight tilt.

The engine is supposed to be at a tilt. That's normal.
