Having reinstalled the complete power train in my refinished chassis, I was
eyeing things up when I noticed:
The engine seems to be twisted left to right with respect to the drive shaft!
The rear of the motor is further left than the front - as viewed from the
driver's seat.
I understand universal joints in drivelines should have their end flanges
parallel.  It would appear mine are not.
I tried loosening all motor mounts to twist the motor - but there is no play
in the mounting holes.
Any concern here?  Any ideas?
Cheers, Fred
