- Welcome back all,
In this video I get back to working on my 2.0L Pinto, before I install the engine into my Mk2 Escort. I start by removing the old DIY sump and fit Burton Powers reproduction RS2000 sump, which looks the part & comes with all the new shiny hardware too! This is a must if you're putting a pinto into an escort, as the sump needs to clear the crossmember. Along with the sump I also fitted a RS2000 pick up pipe & oil dip stick to suit.
In the video I also give the engine block another lick of paint & start to refit some of the old parts along with other new ones such as, HT leads, oil filter, spark plugs, inlet-exhaust studs etc. Towards the end of the video the pinto really starts to take shape and I explain that there really isn't much more to fit before I drop the engine in the bay.
I hope you all enjoying these escort updates as much as I enjoy making them. I've got quite a few parts to fit and videos to make which is a positive, as the deadline to get the car on the road by May is still on!

Remember to subscribe to follow the progress on the Mk2 Escort!
You need to set the distributer in the right timing before you start the engine.
Thank you Mike, this will be corrected!
Brilliant Mitch ............after regretfully selling my genuine mk2 Mexico a few years ago in 2010.....watching your videos you've given me the urge to buy a South African import and build a replica because I could never afford to buy an original now !
That’s a great story, I wish you all the best with buying a South African escort 😎
I'm clicking that like button, although i have no idea how the 'algorithm' thing works stuff out, but i like the channel and wish you success
Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching! 😁
Awesome video Mitch, i really like seeing the engine coming together with all those lovely new parts and there’s nothing better for the eyes 👀 than a lick of paint on the engine, can’t wait for the next instalment, lol 😝
Thank you Mikey, glad you enjoy these videos! 😎
Nice one Mitch. Good progress again. Congrats on getting your MOT tester certification. Thanks for sharing. Keep em coming 👍
Thank you Nick! 👍🏻
hi, elephant in the room, why didn't you spin the engine 180 to put that sump on...
you did not time the dizzy. crank pulley mark to TDC, cam pulley pointer to bottom dot on head, cap off+ turn dizzy till rotor arm pointing to no.1 lead, no.4 lead should be the opposite no1, no3 lead clockwise after no1. yank dizzy out + turn rotor arm if you run out of adjustment, most bosh dizzys have a reference mark filed in to point the rotor arm to.
before you put new cambelt on [+ before timing dizzy], fill up oil, take camcover off, then spin up aux. cambelt pulley until oil comes out of each hole to lube cam, should be a good flow on each, not a dribble [i always renewed the spray bar if they had been standing, + usually the cam tensioner pulley as well, spin it + listen, should be nice + quiet]
apologies if you have done these off camera, keep up the good work young man]
Thank you so much. Every day is a school day and I did not time the dizzy up with the engine. In all honestly I was wondering how it would know what cylinder the engine was on 🤦🏻♂️🤣 Your advice is priceless and I will be following your comment when I remove and time up the dizzy with the engine 👍🏻
Great video again Mitch the escort defo gonna be ready for the isle of wight takeover :)
Thank you mate! 😁
Keep going bud I'm learning as you go I want to build an escort myself one day this is also one of my dream cars!!! Much inspiration from South Africa 🇿🇦
That’s great to hear your enjoying the videos! Plenty more to come, I’ve just been fixing my daily car over the past few weeks but escort progress will continue this week 👍🏻
Don’t forget to cut out the radiator top panel and lower panel so you can move the rad further forward
Already done in a previous episode mate 👍🏻
Well done Mitch another great video mate always look forward to watching your videos it’s really coming on nicely keep up the good work Mitch👍
Thank you pal! Glad your enjoying the videos 👍🏻
Did you time it up when you put the distrabuter in ?
No I admittedly didn’t! I will be removing and correcting this. Thank you for the spot 👍🏻
@Mk2 Mitch no worries I used to repair and built lots of pinto engines back in the day .
Thanks Mitch that was a super video like always, entertaining and educational, keep them coming. I hope you are feeling better.
Thank you mate! Glad you enjoyed the video 👌🏻
As always Mitch great content giving a quality pleasurable viewing its coming together and looking good.
Thank you! Yes getting there 😎
Did you remember to put the hex key in the dizzy dude? Need it to run the oil pump!
Great work well done.
Thank you 👌🏻
Great content Mitch - nice to see you working out of what looks like a standard ish double garage.
I'm thinking of selling up and moving so my son can do similar shenanigan's
Thank you pal, yes it’s a standard double garage! We make it work 🤣
Looking real crisp Mitch
Thank you mate!
Love the videos at the moment mitch, keep it up!
Cheers mate, glad your enjoying the videos 😁
shit, i forgot, don't forget to locktite the dipstick + breather in, they have a habit of coming loose at anything over 5k
Thank you, I will be removing the dip stick tube and doing this!
Am sure your engine mount cups go on the other side of the rubber mount as over the top of it
Yes they do, I correct this in the video after 👍🏻
Great how a lick of paint makes it look ten times better.
Are you keeping the engine standard.
Doesn’t it just! Yes standard for this year, then winter 23’ I’ll make some upgrades 👌🏻
Ahh, the glorious old American Ford Pinto. You guys wanna see a real pos.....lol. Iconic though.
Great shout on the Hammerite paint. It's the tits, init. My jeep chassis is painted in the Hammerite blue... and everything else with the black.
Another great vid as always.
Thank you mate! 😁
What I carnt understand is why you working upside down on a engine stand?
crap falling into the engine?
You not got an air line to blow any crap out save ya back bending down and working up.
You always spot these things after! No harm done just a sore neck 🤣
What carbs, cam and manifold are you fitting? Cheers
I’ve got a twin choke carb and a 4 branch manifold to fit! The manifold isn’t branded, looks like a DIY job!
How do you know the timing is right?
I don’t! Need to take the dizzy out again 🤦🏻♂️
You fitted the sump gasket in the wrong order should of put gasket on engine block first then fitted the rubber seals over ends of gasket and finally fit sump the tabs on end of gasket fit into the rubber seal
100% agree
Lesson learnt! If it leaks I will re do the gasket/seals in the order 😎
