  :attention: The few degrees that you'll turn your housing won't affect the oiling of your pinion bearings since there is a large opening above the inner pinion bearing to allow oil slinging off the ring gear to constantly fill that cavity and lube the pinion bearings.  :biggthumpup: As long as the ring gear is submerged in lube you should have no problems.  Unless, of course, you tilted it way up the oil would run out of the pinion area faster and may minimize oiling some,  but not completely.  :twocents:  :crossed:
