Trans/drive angle ls7 dry sump?

Rich --


You're working too much on the angles of the tail shaft vs the pinion angle -- and missing the important steps that are critical.

So --- lets see if I can write this so you can understand.

Engine DOWN 4* -- Driveline DOWN 2*'s -- that "angle" is 4 - 2 = 2* angle

Pinion down 2* - driveline DOWN 1* - that angle is 2 - 1 =1* angle

The one angle is 2* -- minus the other angle of 1* equals the DIFFERENCE is 1*
which would be fine. And this difference can be MAX of 3* (really depends on drive line speeds less for high speed and more for low speed).

So it really doesn't matter what the down angle of the engine is -- or the pinion angle is -- but they MUST relate to each other measuring the angles to get the driveline angle...

Does this make sense?
