Default 16 " degree wheel in the engine bay

Does anyone know if a 16" degree wheel will fit in the engine bay or are the smaller wheels the ones to use while the engine is installed? Thanks

Default 16" degree wheel

I'm going to do a heads and cam install with the engine in the car. I have a 16" degree wheel and I'd like to know if there is room for it before I start. It looks tight but before I buy a smaller wheel I thought I'd see if anyone has done it.

NO way will a 16" wheel work, I did my H/C this winter and used a 7" wheel and it worked fine.
Just had to stand on my head and read upside down.LOL
I looked at a 12" wheel and when I measured it, it would have hit the spring.
