Hi I just bought a Mk1 escort with a 2ltr Pinto.
The engine is currently out of the car. Is there any way of telling that it is definitely a 2 ltr and not been rebored to 2.1?
It has had some work done to it as the the original head has been replaced along with camshaft. The camshaft has markings on it ‘PINTO A8 17D13’. It is also running twin 40 Weber’s. I’ve been reading a bit online that the a8 cam was used by some engine builders in Finland as a race/rally cam. I’m guessing this would be too much to use as fast road? The engine and car were both imported from Finland a few years ago. Any advice tips on any internals to use for fast toad, Kent or piper cam? Twin 45’s?
