My father helped launch this engine Richard Tabin we lived in England and he went to Germany a lot for the ford Capris

i owned a 1971 ford pinto. low production number. made in milpitas ca. it was one of the best cars i ever owned. very easy to work on. everything was right where you could get to it. they have a bad reputation. like with any machine if you do not maintain it. they will fail. most just ran them into the ground. and anything will blow up if you hit it that hard. i drove my pinto on a local road one day.in the hills. and a porsche blew by me. this is no lie. i caught up to it and stayed right on his tail till we came out the other end. the guy in the porsche pulled over came up to me and asked what do you have under the hood. so i got out and showed him that the hole car was factory stock. he closed the hood walked away and drove off. never saying one word. i swear this is a true story.

I believe you, but having owned and raced over a dozen Pintos including the 2.0 the dude in the Porsche didn't know how to drive. And if you didn't either then he was really slow.

I have a 2.0 litre in my mk3 Capri. Boy, care for this engine and it's performance will not let you down. Plugs, points, condenser, oil, air filter, cam belt, carburator, etc, and it will throw you back in the seats on acceleration.

On the 1.6L OHC You had to Replace the cam belt every 40k miles Without fail otherwise you will pay the price! Was pretty easy though around 45 mins when you've done it a few times! 'VV' carb with auto choke was unreliable, so a manual conversion kit was available. Or a Weber upgrade!

I love Ford pinto engine.

That voice was only ever acceptable being used by Steven Hawking. And I bet he wouldn't have used the wrong photos of a 1300 crossflow and a 4 barrel carb instead of a VV.

ford lowered the compression in 72 on the 2000 by relocating the rist pin on the pistons, put 71 pistons in to up comp. Ford also made a cam that jared the whole car but never put it in production, only thing I remember was it was d1 ** (Pinto) Cam number and suffex BB I had to put a chain on left motor mount to keep it from breaking mounts. it was suppose to be a compation for the cosworth vega

Salam Maaf terlalu lambat...... Enjin the built the nation...... The sweet memory.....

Significant points about this engine. It is not an interference engine in standard form, so if the belt breaks the valves won't hit the pistons. Iron block + iron head = Never blows gaskets. I fact getting the head off the block can be difficult. Doesn't overheat easily. I drove a MK 3 Cortina home 12 miles with a broken fan belt at 40 mph (spring time, so about 18 Celsius), and the temp guage never moved off normal. I suspect the fan was windmilling and driving the water pump. The spark plugs are larger than normal and a taper seat fit in the head. They can be VERY tight to remove. Belts are easy to change. When this engine was introduced in the UK premature camshaft failure was very common, especially in cars doing lots of short trips. At that time the only widely available multi-grade oils (in the UK) were 20w50 (Duckhams and Castrol GTX) because of the Leyland gearbox in sump cars that needed this grade. It is too thick for the Pinto, so the oil takes a long time to get to the spray bar at the top of the engine which lubes the cam. Starting from cold, the valves would rattle for several seconds until the oil covered the cams. This caused premature wear and cam failure. Switching to a 10w30 grade eliminated this problem. This (10w30) grade of oil was the most common in the USA at that time (still is, I suspect) and probably in Europe too. I imagine that Ford hadn't done any long term testing using 20w50 oils so didn't expect this problem. Nowadays I would use a 5w30 or 0w30 synthetic and would not expect any trouble with camshaft wear. Comments anyone?

i have an 87 thunderbird turbo coupe with a 2.3l lima SOHC turbocharged which calls for 10w30. My service records from previous owner shows that he used 20w50 multiple times in the bird throughout the late 80s and early 90s and, while changing the head gasket (its a project car there), i did notice a relatively worn camshaft which i've replaced. thought it may be of some interest to you!

That wouldn't be a Pinto, but a Lima engine, which design is based off the European Pinto engine's concept (belt driven sohc straight-4) The Lima is a whole different development branch of its own, starting form 2 litres up. Parts are not interchangeable however... Pintos only came up to 2 litres from the factory. Cosworth developed a 16v turbo off the pinto, and this was put in the 3-door "whale-tail" Sierra Cosworth which many people know. Figures of up to 900 hp were made from those engines by some of the really mad tuners! However, lots of tuners have increased the capacity up to 2.5 litres on the current generations of Millington 16v engines for example, which use a (probably strengthened/ Cosworth 4x4) 2 litre Pinto, block bored and stroked , and have up to 350 hp naturally aspirated...

What about the 2.3 liter installed in my Mustang II ?

Why does this look so similar to the volvo red block?

Kinda sorta interesting. I had one of the 2000cc versions of the engine. Was actually a fairly easy engine to work on, and only required 3 special tools. A special sized torx driver for the head bolts and oil pump bolts, and a really weird shaped wrench that popped onto a ratchet wrench although I can't remember what it was for. The 2000 had an unfortunate flaw of having both imperial and metric bolts. Now I know this was a product of it being a British designed engine in and American car. I agree PLEASE stop using these computer voices, it really ruins the video.

This is gonna confuse those who are surfing the net. Are you pertaining to the Ford Pinto or the engine alone(?) Why was the Kent pictured if you're discussing only the T88(?) The Kent was used in the Ford Pinto in 1969 but the 1980 Pinto in the picture used only the 4 cam tower 2.3 Lima OHC, also a Pinto engine. The T88 Pinto was employed after the Kent. The European T88 had the 3 cam tower. but Ford US wanted a 4 cylinder of their own thus the Lima. The voice is better in The Greatest Lie Ever Told, Holocaust 2015 HD.

@bimble7240

What is the difference with the Lima cam towers? The European engine has one infuriating design feature. The bearing diameter of the front cam tower is smaller than the centre and rear ones, so the cam had to be removed to the rear. This entailed removing the head or the engine to get the cam out. There was a shortcut that some people used. They cut a hole in the bulkhead (firewall) and slid the cam out through the aperture for the ashtray (remember those?) in the dashboard.

Prefer the Pontiac OHV 4 cylinder Iron Duke 2.5L engine with no timing belts or timing chains to break, just timing gears running in oil... prolly used in a 100 different vehicles/machines...
