Buy an engine tilter, mount it to the head stud at the timing case breather and the coil stud
Thanks mate, I will have to figure out which exact studs these are. Noobie here

I don't know if you've got a Haynes Manual but well worth buying it even if its just so you can learn what we're talking about when we speak the Queens English, you'll also be able to understand the correct use of English engine terminology. Anything to help the colonials out.

I'm glad you did, my brother and family live south of you in Houston, he's also trying to educate Americans about English humour, correct English spelling and use of grammar . Who knows, next time I'm over we may try and drive up to see you.

How can you say anything about the 'Queens English...', you're a Yorkshireman.... Nowt better than a Lancy accent to confuse plenty, even the folks round here can't understand much that I say.... Might be because most of them are imported, I don't speak good English I was told by a Polish gentleman once LOL
