I just picked up one of these and after sitting it on my E5 and pinning it on the E the servo arms look like they are tilted up instead of level.

I have an E5, E7 (old version), and a N7. Do I use the E hole for all of these to level the swash?

The old heads had swash drivers that were not mounted to the head block, they were on a separate collar. The "E" and "N" holes on the swash tool were used to locate the correct position of that collar on the main shaft. The newer heads have the follower arms mounted directly on the head block and do not require pinning the leveler. You only need to set your swash linkages to the recommended length in the manual and use the tool to level the swash with your servo horns @ 90°.

Old style:

Sure, but I thought perhaps the hole would also be used to set level for swash. I guess that is not the case.

I'm afraid not.
