Rigid ram head rotation?

[arsenix]

Hello. Once again I have to move my R2E4. Unfortunately it has to pass under some low beams which the head will not clear. Last time I just removed the head which was a serious pain given the lack of ceiling clearance. Basically I ended up just manhandling it on there.

So my question is... will the head bolt on at a 90degree angle from upright? It is a rigid ram. Ie if I unbolt it and rotate 90 will it bolt down that way? It looks like the bolt pattern is near square but it is hard to eyeball. If I could do this it would save me a lot of trouble.

If anyone knows it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Got mine all apart. looks like you can't do it. Bolts aren't square pattern and the gear that adjusts squareness isn't center of the bolts anyway. If you could do it, you would have to watch out for the oil line that goes to the ball screw. it goes through the head and we had to cut our to take the head off.
