Thinking of selling.......
-
Double check timing, fuel pump is working , and that battery doesn't sound like it's got much in, really makes a difference
-
Cheers for that mate, I jacked up the car to check, I've replaced the gearbox mount , and I noticed the sump was touching the cradle, I've now fitted 50 mm mounts,( rubber )maybe the pinto engine is out of a transit or which ever use the deeper sump, it's now clear , haven't tryed it yet as I'm awaiting new water hoses to come , will update when I know 👍
-
I've just remembered I didn't fit the sandwich plate , maybe it's to tight ,??????
-
I took the ones off the 1.6 , was ok on on that , makes sense on what your saying
-
Hmmmm just rocked the engine and I can see the gearbox moving, think I'm going to replace the mount there. I used the original one, does anyone have the non banana one that matches the type 9 box ?
-
Ok on tick over, comes in at about 3 mph , changes through rev range, oddly goes away at 70,mph , thanks for your reply

Hi all, since fitting the 2.0 , I'm getting vibrations, seems to be coming right through the bulk head, I have a new one piece prop, so I know that's ok , engine mounts are new, I am wondering if having the flywheel skimmed is causing it , no clutch or pedal judder , but thinking this is all it could be? Thoughts please (anyone got a good 2.0 flywheel?)
-
I'd have used more explicit words 🤣
-
Just to close this, I ended up taking the engine out and stripped it, I'm 99% sure the piston ring set I bought off eBay was a Jaffa, as the bottom scraper rings weren't protruding enough and not really doing anything, I only worked this out, when rebuilding my new engine, this time I used Mahle ring set, no oil issues👍
-
Thanks lads, I've got a Bosch 075 now £72 all in , 👍
-
Hi what's the battery that should be on a 2.0 MK3 ? It's gotta be a round lug, thanks
-
So having had the Cortina with it's oil burning problem, I decided to take the rebuilt engine back out, looks like the piston ring set I bought on eBay was a jaffer, the oil scraper rings weren't doing anything. So I bought a 2.0 pinto, new Mahle rings, shells n bearings, re honed the bores n rebuilt, skimmed flywheel, new cam, clutch n gasket set finally back in today , will fit manifolds tomorrow n see how it runs👍
-
I've got the standard one in now ,I wasn't accounting for the dizzy sleeve fitting down to the pump , mine wouldn't fit with the washer on though
-
Don't think it has moved, I'll just take it off I think, cheers lad 👍
-
Hi , my 1600 pinto oil drive bar, seems to short for my 2.0 pinto engine, the star washer a quarter of the down is on there, can I just take this off, or is there two different sized hexagon shafts ? Thanks

Torque settings 2.0 pinto mains & cons

Cheers lad 👍 -
I can't find my .in manual, does anyone know the main bearing caps and Conrod caps settings?also is there a gasket for the oil pump to the block ??? Thanks if you can help 👍
-
So oil usage issue, took engine back out n stripped, top two rings all good fitment and condition, lower scraper rings I noticed there virtually level with the piston, so I'm assuming there doing nothing. I bought the ring kit off eBay, I can't remember the make , but there definitely not like the Mahle ring set I've just bought for the 2.0 im rebuilding. Either I've bought the wrong ring set or it's an eBay jaffer
-
No worries mate, appreciate it, it's a constant light haze , the old head was damaged, so got a second hand one , as my old valves were cleaned up I just relapped n.used again, maybe a mistake, not measured how much , no smoke on start up , I get it could be from brake servo, but doesn't explain oil consumption, I'll smell the service exhaust tomorrow 👍
-
Thanks lad, but why's the old gal using a bit to much oil?
-
Hello mate, well the old gals still hazy, not lots, but still using a bit of oil, pulls really well I've just remembered I used another set of valves from a previous head, I'm now thinking this could be the problem, I did regrind the valves in , Im thinking more valve guides......thoughts?
-
Oh bugger , I was hoping it was missing
-
Yes mate , it's fitted and operates as it should, I'm not sure if the housing it fits in is supposed to have gauze inside????, mines open with none
