I've been wandering why is the 5sfe engine tilted? Does it have to do with the transmission position or what? I'm clueless to why it's tilted. Lol.

if the 3SFE & 5SFE have the same height, then there's no difference in height between FE (narrow-angle valve) & GE (wide-angle valve) heads according to this pic:
 it may also have something to do with keeping the hood line lower, which can also bring down the interior dash without compromising outward visibility, seating position can also be dropped, roof line, etc. etc. like it is for the fr-s/brz This post has been edited by azian_advanced: May 7, 2012 - 2:59 PM -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
