[DeTomaso] Rocker Stud angle question

John,

	That's what I thought until I stuck drill bits in the valve and rocker
holes and looked at the angles.  They might be the same angle when looking
from the exhaust side of the head but looking lengthwise down the head
they're definitely NOT the same.  Looking lengthwise down the head, it looks
as if the rocker holes are vertical with respect to the head bottom plane
while the valves are at a 9 degree angle.

Doug,

The rocker stud and valves are at the same angle.

I've seen the drawing in old SVO catalogs showing the angles that the
351C-4V valves make vs. the bottom plane of the head but has anyone ever
seen a drawing of the angles the rocker stud holes make vs. the plane of
the head.
