    Escort Sigma 1600 Race Car

    Hello all.

    Been reading about your nice racers so I tought to post some pics of mine.
    I'm building a new Zetec SE engine to replace the pinto and I've been visiting the Zetec section frequently to get some help and to share some tips I've found out about the SE. I'm from Finland and around here the Zetec is totally unkonown to the motorsport realm. These forums have been a great help so I tought i share something.

    Cheers
    Markus

      Re: Escort

      Some bits and bobs for the new engine. Sorry for the poor picture quality I wery often leave my camera home when I go to the carage and I have to settle to my Nokia.

      I'm now waiting for the cylinder head to come back from the shop. And for the big end bearings to arriwe. Otherwise the bottom end is put together.

          Two more pics. From my phone tough.
          Fitted the piston in. Torqued the main ladder and checked the clearance for the cons. Rotates nicely. No need for any grinding. If only I'd have those big end bearings...Its been a painful process of waiting and waiting for bits to arriwe with this engine.
          Pinto bits grow on trees around here compared to this Sigma.

                                      Superb looking car.

                                      What's the spec of the suspension you're running?
