				| Hi... I'm looking for the measurement of the angle of the valves after they have been re-seated...The guys working on the engine "forgot" to check it out before hand and now it seems impossible to get it...its a boxer engine 1.7 with hydraulic tappets...I'd be grateful of any help, Thanks |

				Hi
 
I do not know about the hydraulic tappet engine but the 8 valve adjustable tappet engine had valve angle of 90 deg/ 90. 30 min included angle as a spec.
 
Just trying to be helpful.

				Are you talking about the valve timing?
