Tilted cast iron pipe question! regarding flange

I have a terrazo floor which has a 4" cast iron pipe which is not exactly 90 degrees. Its more like 87 degrees. when i put in the 4" pvc closet flange which fits fine into the whole, the flange is tilted to the right if your facing the toilet. On the right side it is touching the terrazo and on the left side it sits about 3/8" up.

when the toilet is placed in position the toilet is tilted and much too high. I have still about 1/2" between the toilet and the tile. If the pipe was not tilted
i would not have this problem.

Any suggestions on what i can do? thanks for your help.

Can you post a picture?

right now i dont have a picture, but i will upload one as soon as i can.

here is a picture of the flange i am using and i also have have the fluidmaster waxfree ring. I can not post a pic right now because since its my only bathroom in the house i had to put the toilet back on, with some wood shims and still the toilet sits crooked. does not leak though.

The flange screws into the cast iron pipe and that pipe is visibly not straight.
i was wondering if there was some type of adjustable flange which will help level out the flange so it is perfectly horzontal with the floor.

hope that makes sense and thanks for your help.

Do it the right way and put a cast iron flange on it and you will not have any problem with the tilted pipe.

hj, if the CI 90 is not on at the proper angle, then how will putting the flange on it (CI or otherwise) make it become 90? The only thing I can think of is correcting the reason why it isn't true 90 like it should be... either by using a rubber (that may give just enough to get where he needs to be) which is short of re-running the whole thing. On the other hand, how did the WC work before if the 90 wasn't right?

Hence, why a pic would be nice.

Pete, when you put a cast iron flange in place, lead it in and break the riser down to the top of the flange, the flange will be flat on the floor and you wont see three or four degrees.

THere is enough slop in a CI flange so until you pour the lead in, you can move the flange around a fair amount. Set it in place around the pipe, pound in the oakum, then pour in the lead.

Ah! Thanks! Now I understand.

I will post a pic as soon as i get the time to take the toilet back off. the only reason i used the 4" pvc flange is because i replaced the one that was there which was cracked. One of the reasons the toilet fit before is the tile that was on the floor was built up at least 1/2" with some kind of tile set. since i ripped all of that out to the terrazo the flange sits a bit high. It obviously was crooked before but the wax ring and the fact the flooring was built up allowed it to sit right before. the new tile is not going to be more than 3/8".

Thanks for your input i really appreciate it. I will certainly post a pic as soon as i can.
