Hi everyone. Sorry it’s been a while, but work has been very busy and filming has had to take a back seat for a few weeks, but I’m back now and hoping to get into a regular routine of posting video again.
In this video I was asked to repair a Ford Pinto cylinder head, which had a valve seat fall out. You will see how I completed the repair using my Mira Centronic machine.
Another job I recorded was the cast iron repair to a Model T radiator.
Hope you enjoy.
James.

Hi James, great video again, are you sure that wasn’t an Opel conrod 😂😂😂, good catch on the pinto valve seats eh, there wasn’t much meat there in fairness, all about the detail really, I was thinking if a man brought that radiator to a modern shop what response you’d get, great old school fix to save the rad, good work, hope alls well with you 👍👍👍

@paulcrehan9523 hopefully. How you getting on with yours
Hello James i work in a cylinder head shop myself and i was wondering have you ever seen a Pinto head with 4 cam bearings ? I skimmed a Pinto head back in the early 90.s that came off a German Sierra XR4I and it had 4 cam bearing posts instead of the usual 3 . I have not seen another since and everyone i ask think i must be mistaken and no such head exists . Great content by the way .

Hi.. yes I think it was called a ford Lima, same as the pinto but 2.3, meant to be a very good engine tuned. Thank you for watching
It's part of my block isn't it?? 😂😂
