Fast and easy solution found. Across from my carport is a parking lot which is fairly level. I just hopped in, put her in neutral, took off the break and let gravity roll her into the parking lot. (Had to push her the last foot). Oil changed. Started up no prob. No lifter tapping. Love my Westy!!

As I get ready to wake her up, I realize she is parked on an incline. (Rear higher). Not a steep incline, but enough for a ball to roll. Would it be ok to change as is, or should I move to level ground, or a least switch directions? (Rear lower)
