I'm gonna be most recent one. So on, I'm proud owner of 1985 mk.III with 1.6 Diesel. Also, this video needs some kind of update about, mostly forgotten Mk.III these days. I'm ranting on how everybody loves Mk.I, Mk.II, and later models known from the Rally, but everybody forgets about humble Mk.III

Great car

I wish people wouldn't call it pinto, it doesn't make sense. It was called the OHC in the factory where we made it!

Cosworth??

shit video and very incorect

Terible video pour and incorect imformation. Photo's of a 1.3l push rod engine from the Kent family and a 4 barrel holley obviously a lack of research.

Ai must have forgot it can be bored out to 2.65.

Pints 2.0 greatest 4 cylinder since the model B

im just here to see if they say anything about the mustang 2 being based off a pinto(its not).

That’s it show us a Kent as the 1.3

I owned a Ford Escort E back in 82. Wonderful memories

Wasnt there a 2.8 engine?

I LIKED IT...EWEN THAT I LIKE OPEL ASCONA B. AUDI 100. VOLVO 240 AND ROD ESCORT MK1-MK2

It’s a non cross flow engine?

My mom had a Pinto wouldn't climb a hill fast to save it's life

👍

2.3?

Significant points about this engine. It is not an interference engine in standard form, so if the belt breaks the valves won't hit the pistons. Iron block + iron head = Never blows gaskets. I fact getting the head off the block can be difficult. Doesn't overheat easily. I drove a MK 3 Cortina home 12 miles with a broken fan belt at 40 mph (spring time, so about 18 Celsius), and the temp guage never moved off normal. I suspect the fan was windmilling and driving the water pump. The spark plugs are larger than normal and a taper seat fit in the head. They can be VERY tight to remove. Belts are easy to change. When this engine was introduced in the UK premature camshaft failure was very common, especially in cars doing lots of short trips. At that time the only widely available multi-grade oils (in the UK) were 20w50 (Duckhams and Castrol GTX) because of the Leyland gearbox in sump cars that needed this grade. It is too thick for the Pinto, so the oil takes a long time to get to the spray bar at the top of the engine which lubes the cam. Starting from cold, the valves would rattle for several seconds until the oil covered the cams. This caused premature wear and cam failure. Switching to a 10w30 grade eliminated this problem. This (10w30) grade of oil was the most common in the USA at that time (still is, I suspect) and probably in Europe too. I imagine that Ford hadn't done any long term testing using 20w50 oils so didn't expect this problem. Nowadays I would use a 5w30 or 0w30 synthetic and would not expect any trouble with camshaft wear. Comments anyone?

I'm stuffed if I can listen to a computer

2:35. You reading the wrong wiki info again 😂

I had a 79

Muito bom seu vídeo

Why does this look so similar to the volvo red block?

Please, please, please 🙏 do something about the computer generated voiceover It's insufferable

I have a 2.0 litre in my mk3 Capri. Boy, care for this engine and it's performance will not let you down. Plugs, points, condenser, oil, air filter, cam belt, carburator, etc, and it will throw you back in the seats on acceleration.

It's not the 2nd FWD car of Ford Europe, though. The German Ford 12M P4 (Taunus or Cardinal depending on market) of 1962 was the first FWD Ford.

I've got the 2.3 L 4 cylinder 5 speed in my single cab 2003 Ford Ranger and that engine is both efficient and powerful.

Prefer the Pontiac OHV 4 cylinder Iron Duke 2.5L engine with no timing belts or timing chains to break, just timing gears running in oil... prolly used in a 100 different vehicles/machines...

Brilliant small hatch ...still looks better than a lot of the modern smaller cars of 2021

Buenisima

name of the narrator??

15 years from now the comments will be alot more \m/

please can the robo voice

i like it... it is my fav with mk2 and mk1

i wishd id had mk3 escort

On the 1.6L OHC You had to Replace the cam belt every 40k miles Without fail otherwise you will pay the price! Was pretty easy though around 45 mins when you've done it a few times! 'VV' carb with auto choke was unreliable, so a manual conversion kit was available. Or a Weber upgrade!

My old car, yellow one CFW358T!

Full of errors.

Familiar with this voice. Are you Racer TV?

Can anybody tell me about a 1.6 # 70HM6015AA. It looks just like the 2.0 pinto eng

What a boring voice....zzzzzz

I LIKE IT

Mine had a capricious automatic choke! And the air system smelled of curry.

Fantastic video buddy, take no notice from the people complaining about the AI voiceovers, its still excellent content, people need to realize that not every youtube content creator has the perfect radio voice to make these commentaries :)

Don’t know how I got to 0:28 seconds before that annoying computer generated voice grated on me so much. You have to ask when is a computer voiceover ever acceptable?

All you're doing is listing specs in a droning voice without real clarity. Reminds me of taking notes in high School from a teacher that has bean teaching too long. I'm sure the info is in there. And I'm sure it's correct, but i'll fail the test because I couldn't pay attention.

Thumbsdown just for the voiceover.
