Default Engine thrust

Can anyone tell me how to measure the side thrust on the engine installation.
Mine calls for 2 degrees, but I don't know how to set it up.
Thanks,
Sidekick

Check out this other thread. The technique is the same whether you are measuring left / right or up / down thrust ...

Easiest way is using an incidence meter:

If you don't have one, check this old thread:

Easiest way for me is to look at the end of the prop shaft,if it's say 4mm that's the down and side thrust set
