More great content Graham. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Can't wait until part 4. You do need to give however indicative prices of what you can do. Hint Hint :)
great vid but can i just check im not going mad. @ 2.20 the mic reads 48.44 not 45.96mm, just checking on my end and trying not to look anyone look silly, unless its me of course :).
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
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.
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
Really good channel, I enjoy watching it immensely, mods and results, can't fault yer👍
I've been looking forward to part 3!
Excellent video, thanks yet again for these and happy Christmas

I'm getting my block back from the machine shop tomorrow.
Nice little project over the holidays.
thankyou for this christmas present, have a good one !
Happy Christmas Graham, great videos !👍👍
Well told happy Christmas 🎄 from Ireland
Looking forward to next vids
Enjoying following this engine rebuild
good man , keep the vid`s coming
Brilliant vids ✅😎

Another great video, thanks 👍🙂
Nice one Graham, happy Christmas to you and yours
I love this content. Thank you for sharing.
Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas 🎉
Ok thanks 230 is a good number
Number how can I find out the cost to build one
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
@@PenguinMotors was an interesting concept, great magazine too. Love your videos they are very educational so thanks for posting them Graham
Were the pistons to suit 93mm bore with machinable crowns? What was the part number if you don’t mind me asking?
Great watch 👍

Merry Xmas mate to and your family
Bosh ❤
Interesting how the flow drops down at 350 and then back up at 500
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.
What are the symptoms/signs of this?

Nice! Wich side you made the oiling grooves in rods? Side that leads or side that comes after compared to engine spinning?
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.
What is the max hp / torque you can build 2.2 pinto NA
Never tried to build maximum 2.2, but with a conventional head/ cam etc theoretically something like 230 bhp 180lbft
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?

Can't hear mod you done on the conrod be done on a standard 2litre pinto engine
No point in doing on a standard piston rod assembly
@@PenguinMotors thanks Graham.
I NEED PART THREE GIVE US AN EARLY CRIMBO PRESENT DONT BE A GRINTCH
sorry 48.94mm. told you silly me.
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.
Looking forward to next vids
