Paul, the 1300 crossflow pistons at + 0.060" will not reduce the swept volume or capacity of the engine, it will still be 1660cc approx, but they will increase the compression ratio from 9.0:1 o 10.3:1.

The old 711M block from the Cortina Gt. Safe to bore to 1700 with the thick cylinder walls but good to keep around 1650 for peace of mind. Stuck one in our Lotus 7 with a gas flowed head and double valve springs. Lightened flywheel and balanced. It’s always nice to know the engine shouldn’t give you trouble 👌🏻

Long live the mighty Xflow and the Ford Escort 💪👌 I've just finished my 10 yr restoration build on my Grandfather's Mk2 ghia that he bought new in 76, he had a amazing and unbelievable WW2 story, so as well as looking absolutely amazing now, a brand new forged 1700 on 45s now gives it a symphony on full beans that I'm sure he can hear👍, well the 5 times I've driven the car anyway in-between fixing the next issues😂 😢.

Bit of confusion there. Crown hight doesn't affect CC'S if the piston is taller as tdc it's taller at bdc. Swept volume bore area× stroke of the crank is the only info needed for engine size. What the 1300 pistons do give with their taller crown hight, is a higher cr. Does make a cracking little engine for virtually no money (it's all relative) 🙂
@5CGQ11 ай бұрын
You are correct. When he said that it made my brain hurt a bit. Man's high school maths failed him badly here. +.030" gives you 1629cc irrespective of the crown height. The 1300 piston reduces the combustion volume, not the swept volume.
@gothicpagan.66611 ай бұрын
@@5CGQ Many make the same mistake. The guy is a very highly skilled tech. How often do people do this kind of work. Many guys in the motor trade for 30 years or more have not rebuilt an engine, unless it's a hobby or something special, the cost out ways the value of the car. Realistic cost for a x flow like on the vid, which should give 130+ hp is £5k it's just what things cost.

Hi, Any CC within the piston will not actually change the engine displacement. You only work with the bore diameter in the calculator to go you your overall displacement. Difference in piston dome etc will only affect the compression ratio. ENGINE CAPACITY/DISPLACEMENT Information required: 1. Cylinder bore, 2. Crankshaft stroke, 3. Number of cylinders Calculation: 0.7854 x bore x bore x stroke x number of cylinders. Example: Bore = 81mm (8.1cm), Stroke = 77.6mm (7.76cm), cylinders = 4 Solution: 0.7854 x 8.1 x 8.1 x 7.76 x 4 = 1599.5cc Crossflows love compression. I would be use flattop pistons. Also the 1300 pistons have you checked the pin to deck height, because if they have the same bore as a 1600... Where is the reduction in displacement to make it a 1300? The stroke must be different, they might not even work with the 1600 stroke/crank
