So confusing to see rust and paint free pinto block😅 Yet beautiful

I just wanted to drop this somewhere. My back-road rat racing pinto suffered a lot from oil pan windage. It ran much better one quart down. It would benefit from some baffles or even a dry sump system.

@@johnnytenjobs I noticed a big difference in performance when run a quart or even a quart and a half low. It was very noticeable and I had a reference route I took a lot to compare. My engine ran better cold so it wasn't the reduced cooling. There may have been a comment from one of the few project builders working with this engine. Information was where you find it back then, the speed shops laughed at me when I went in to ask about parts for a 4 cyl. Making friends with a Ford parts counter guy was my best source. Here in the US, a high performance 4 cylinder was considered an oxymoron.

​@johnelectric933 I see. Have you come across a book by David Vizard? There has been quite a lot of effort put into improving these in UK. Remodelling inlet ports. Extending the block height with a spacer and liners to allow a longer rod. Some clever stuff with split Webers or Dellortos for specific regulations have achieved impressive results too.

👍👍👍👍👍

Interesting how the flow drops down at 350 and then back up at 500

Excellent building there Graham, do you recall the twin spark pinto built by Dave walker of CCC magazine?

yes i do, ive even talked to Dave Walker about it, ultimatley its was pointless, it needed less ignition adavance than single plug, but gave exactly the same power

Were the pistons to suit 93mm bore with machinable crowns? What was the part number if you don’t mind me asking? Great watch 👍

Nice! Wich side you made the oiling grooves in rods? Side that leads or side that comes after compared to engine spinning?

@PenguinMotors

trailing side, but there are some rods out there that are factory notched both sides

How deep do you made the grooves? Planning doing same thing to my Volvo pushrod-engine H-rods.

For reducing the compression ratio, could you instead turn a small dish into the piston so you can keep the squish lower? or does this engine not suit having having a small dish or is there not enough piston thickness to do that?

It would be tricky to get right as you would need to mirror combination chamber shape. But either way it’s irrelevant now using a new head and a thin head gasket

sorry 48.94mm. told you silly me.

I NEED PART THREE GIVE US AN EARLY CRIMBO PRESENT DONT BE A GRINTCH

The Cosworth notch. Hehe. I´m not sure, but I think the Porsche 356c was the first factory engine which used these rod squirters. anyway, it works.
