So, what is your question?

You want to know valve angle?

 

[AllanL]

yes Sir.

 

[99gst_racer]

I wish I could tell you. I've never bothered to measure and don't have any heads laying around right now.

I'm curious though; why are you asking?

 

[AllanL]

been wanting to make a valve spring compressor tool...

 

[bradselph]

If i had the proper tool to get such a measurement i would as i have a spare head at home.

 

[BogusSVO]

Thats a new question!

Should be able to figured out with a protractor.

I have a head laying around, I will try to make time later today to measuser it for you.

 

[AllanL]

thanks a lot Sir!
awaiting your valuable information...

IF you want to make a spring compressor than go to harbor freight and buy a big c clamp and cut a slot in a deep well 1/2 inch socket. It's cheap and works well.

^^^ I like that one the best too. It can do 4 valve springs without repositioning and you can use it with the head torqued to the block. And it's priced well to boot.

please...

finally got around to measuring this angle...

60deg from horizontal, give or take a few degrees...

 

[rlacasse1]

Are you sure about that? If memory serves me correct I would put it well under 45*, maybe more like 30ish*. Or did you mean 60* from the horizontal?

This is what I found, don't know how reliable the poster is, but it came from a thread on this site.

The valve angles are aprox 28' per side int and exh for the 4g63
