Edit feature parameters

The oil filler neck and cap have assembly constraints to the oil filler boss faces.
When the oil filler boss faces are moved these components follow. In this
configuration, it would be difficult to add oil to the engine because the oil filler is
pointing inboard.

1. In the Part Navigator, under the Model History node, double-click the
last Move Facefeature in the list.
2. In the Move Face dialog box, in the Transform group, click Reverse
Direction to make the oil filler boss opening point away from the case.
3. Click OK.
