Since I can't quite figure out if you are pulling my leg or not, and I searched my service manual for ANY mention of "case position" and found nothing, I'm just gonna go my merry way and ignore this thread.
( and I am NOT a topsider, I remove the pan and clean it and the lower engine stuff with every oil change )
