Very interesting that intake hits, that needs to jump the cam forward and something like two tooth to get contact with that big cutouts. I would suspect somebody after you has changed the belt. If it was exhausts then belt skipping would make sense. Interesting rocker arm geometry change, did play with it back in the day…
I have a 1980 pinto with a 2300 got it in 07 in high school. It's a tough car. I just did a bore new pistons cuz it burned oil. I was really hard on it up on the logging roads in oregon but now it runs better than it ever has the 4 speed and I have a lsd rear in in it
If you are talking about the 1980 american Ford Pinto car then the engine is not the same as this one. In the UK this engine got the Pinto name, it is unrelated to the car. Your car would have the 2.3L lima engine which is good but not the same as this one.
I love secret engine builders tricks. 👍👍👍. Keep up the good work. 👍
even though its knackered,
engneering side is just 😍, recon yer spot on belt slipped a tooth, saved a chunk ov dough on crank and conrods i recon, i loved these engines had many in the 80's in my cars, looking forward to rebuild side now
Can you also do a full strip/build on a full race crossflow engine please? (Tips & tricks) 👍
Top quality and informative yet again.
Please video diary this build 🙏
Keep em coming.
Thanks! Will do!
"the game is to be sold not told" 💯
British people always with their cup of thea "sir"? 😀 you've just gotta love m
Great video
Not into Fords now but some very nice engine bits, keep up the good work.
Our' s first making,built -90 and still going forewer ? 220 hp,,240 Nm torgue,, pistons are Made to Porsche,,litlle making to ohc,, crankshaft to Cosworth,Pinto 2.0 -75 block,all that's motor is balancing to air Finnair's garage ! Still going maybe for ewer,,carburettor version because its historic,,,next rally is 12.02.2022,,,winter,,real winter ,, snow like 1 meter and term is now -15 Celcius,,! Many thanks to Your's videos etc,,
Ajatteko lahti historic rallissa tänä vuonna?
incredible work.. very impressive ;)
Secret Jedi business 🔥
Loved those old 2.3's I blew a few in my day.
Monster Engine. Incredible how long these engines will take abuse if built correctly. Interesting how the head is a modified 1600. Years ago I fitted a stock 1.6 head to the 2.0 in the Capri thinking it would increase performance. I was wrong. Far too much compression for the setup. Live and learn! Looking forward to the rebuild.
The 1600 head has a shallower combustion chamber, that give two benefits, firstly more compression secondly more material in the short turn of the inlet port
@@PenguinMotors Interesting. Isn't the geometry of the valve train out of whack on the 1600 head as well? I had an FR32 in it and I seem to remember it contacted the lower end of the follower pad so wasn't giving the quoted lift figures.
@@FastRust its all about where you position the valve seats when you cut seats for bigger valves, i usually achieve a bit more than quoted lift figures.
@@PenguinMotors Gotcha. Cheers Graham 👍🏻
Great vid. Is there a twin cam head that can be retrofitted to the pinto without major machining works? I've got an old pinto that's in a Locost that I am currently converting to bike carbs. Couldn't believe how heavy the cast iron head is.
One of the main reasons I am sticking with the pinto anchor is because of the no valve to piston contact if it all goes wrong. Keep up the great vids.
Yes a couple of options a Warrier head from Connaught which works really well but isn’t cheap, or Sierra cosworth YB head, but the cosworth is an expensive upgrade for not much more power.
reference valve to piston clearance, once you fit modified cams the valves WILL hit the pistons if a belt breaks
Bugger, same thing happened to mine, but not at that rpm
Pinto❤️
Would you not fit a cylinder liner to that block, since pinto block are getting scare
Blocks are not that scarce yet, it could be linered but fitting one will distort the cylinder next to it so you end up doing them all. Something best avoided especially on a full race motor
is it possible that a cambelt could stretch to cause a problem?
that should give More not less clearance
How long did it run before meeting its demise? bearings looks very good.
It’s raced off and on for 8 years, so it’s done a good few miles
@@PenguinMotors Man thats excellent. Also keep making video they are very intresting, not much engine building stuff on youtube unless its a push-rod v8
thanks for the nice comments, i will do my best to keep them interesting :)
@@PenguinMotors that's some serious reliability... well done!
Someones wallet is gonna be empty lol
Is there a recommendation to reduce belt whip on the pinto?
You can add an extra pulley, in fact there’s one coming in my next video, whether there’s any real world gain to be had might be another matter
Racing Pinto is like saying a Fat Man athelete lol.
Clearly you know didly squat about racing.
If there was ever a justification for ongoing inspection / refresh then this is it. There's a good chance the witness marks on the pistons would have told the story well before it failed.
maybe but i doubt it, because i have had the head off since it was first built and there were defiantly no witness marks then.
@@PenguinMotors Something has to have changed then, either cam timing or rev limit.....!
@@SB-vb8ch yup, or it was buzzed on a gear shift, its attached to a 7 speed sequential gearbox, meaning its very easy to bang it down a gear or two too many going into a hairpin.................
You should replace it with an Esslinger head. They run in dirt modified cars at 8k+ rpm for hours at a time with no problem.
Nice idea but the Esslinger heads are for the American Lima version of the engine which shares nothing in common with its European cousin
@@PenguinMotors That's a bummer... I kinda assumed it was the same since yours is a 2.3 like all the American ones
Should pass on the secret before you pass on
im not that old! I fully expect out outlive petrol being freely available
@@PenguinMotors maybe not, but shit happens man. Not saying to spill it now but write it down in your will or something
Guess the secret is lashcaps with radius tips
