I must be crazy, but I went to change the oil on my '84 110, and couldn't remove the drain plug because the exhaust pipe was blocking it*. Maybe I installed it slightly "off", but don't recall the ability to "clock" the pipe during installation. I'm not sure if it was that way or not when I bought it because it didn't run, and I had to remove the engine before I'd ever had a chance to change the oil on it.
Anyone else run into this before? I'm assuming this was NOT the setup from the factory, as the manual doesn't mention any special procedures other than "remove the drain plug bolt".
*There's 2 bolts on the bottom of the engine that appear to possibly be engine oil drain bolts. One of them is angled forward a bit with a 12mm hex, and it's my understanding that it's the cover to the timing chain tensioner adjustment. The other one points straight down and is a 14mm hex IIRC.
