    I got into a fender bender at 20mph. Does my motor look tilted down to the left to you? I can't recall how it sat prior to the accident. The accident busted the radiator, serp. belt, and all the front plastics, and bent up the hood. The Toyota body shop took it apart to fix it and called me today to tell me that it was normal and none of the motor mounts were broken. I tried to look for pictures of other 2.7L engines online, but couldn't find any good images. You can use the bottom of the windshield at the back as a level. IMG_3727.jpg

    The engine is sitting fine. Unfortunately your entire truck is tilted to the right.

    It is 100% normal. I am curious as to why our 2.7 4cyls are tilted though? Any ideas?

    The engine is tilted in order reduce vibrations from the inline engine design.
