zx12 angle of tilt

Just started mocking up an engine cradle for my zx12. Does anyone have an idea of what angle the engine should slope at?

Or do I just aim to get the base of the sump level.

Cheers..

Yes plan to fit a modded sump but due to funds that will have to wait till next year. Have had a good look at the Nova sump and it looks like a good option.

Hope to get started on the chassis next month one I have finished some jobs on the house.

about 30 degrees from vertical i reckon. engines work when front wheels in the air so aint got to be exact.
