s14/s13 redtop oil line problem

[JonathanRuiz]

hey guys i have a 95 s14 SE and i just put in the redtop that i bought. the only problem i have come across is the engine and tranny seem cocked to the left. everything is bolted in, but the engine sits more to the left and the tranny sits more to the right. the whole assemble seems to sit like this " \ ". with the top of the slant being the front of the car. anyhoo i think it that has to do with my turbo's oil return line being crushed against my steering column. anyone have this problem before? anyone know of a fix?

I have no idea why you would have this problem bust sr's don't sit flat in the engine bay. If look at your engine from front outside of the car, it sits slanted to the right, but it does definitely shit straight. Did you even bolt your engine mounts on?

sorry its not the oil return... its the egr pipe going to the o2 elbow. btw the engine is not slanted from top to bottom (valve cover to block) it's slanted by the front (pulleys) to back of trans. (driveshaft input).

Pop the EGR pipe out and take the pipe off the connector all together. Once you have it off, wedge a nickel between the connector and the elbow, screw it back on.

thanks for the nickel idea... i'll do that
