Engine angle I5s

[Jeltuh]

Does anyone know the angle the I5 Audi engines are designed at? Maybe someone has a drawing or something?

Very curious for the answers!

Get out your protractors!! (I think it is 25 degrees)

That's exactly what I measured on my AEL. But in literature I found 20 degrees. Anyone who can confirm this 25 degrees?

13.9 on the 7A cam cover I don't know what that equates to at the face of the bores

The head is assymetric so you'd need to measure the deck really. 25 looks about right to the MK1 human eyeball

When I copy paste the jpg in AutoCad I measure 28 degrees
So 20 degrees doesn't sound logical.

I'll stick on 25 degrees then

I got 27.5°

Only if it reads 0.00 when placed on the rad support/lock carrier.

Well you are obviously not an engineer, or at least not a civil engineer. 28.3 is absolute, not relative to the chassis. If the floor is slanted a degree or two, that 28.3 is meaningless.

This is my measuring method

Offset (in height) between left and right engine mount is about 10,5 cm in the car. That's the way I angled the engine in the motor stand.
