I recently bought a Windlass with 503 engine still showing downwords(plugs)Is it adviced to leave it like that and is it a big hassle to change it upright.

Speak to Aiden at Solowings about this. I don't believe it is necessary. One big advantage of leaving it is that if/when you take the head and cylinder off there is no danger of dropping bits into the crank case.

Unfortunately Aiden passed away a few months ago. Craig Couzens is the man to speak to at Solowings.
