All Audi I-5 engines I've seen fitted to Audi 4K, 5K, 80, 90, 100, 200, and VW Quantum are canted at approx 15-20 degrees. rb ---------------------------- Scot wrote: I don't believe "Piston Slap" is HYPE, as it was claimed. I have a question about the angle of the inline 5 as it is used in the Audi; do the pistons travel vertically, or is there some angle set from vertical? I know from my EV that the engine is on an angle and if the engine was designed to run upright, there is a very good chance of piston slap. <snip>
