Hi guys just wondering how i know what model my 2.o pinto engine is

Im trying to find out what the capacity is for the engine oil i think its a 2o05 block

the numbers i have found are these:

1-9985

35020 205

-85HN6015

13-B

well the 205 block is the later 2ltr block but i believe there is a high and low comp version as my dads transit has the 205 block pinto in it. don't know how you tell the difference.

 

If you can see the inlet ports on the head and they are egg shaped then that is an injection head if they are round then it is for a carb engine. You'll get better gas flow with the inj head.

 

all pintos after 89 are unleaded.

just had look at burton catalogue but still not sure ive also looked on v5 i was told that previous owner had registered change of engine but engine number on engine doesnt look anything like whats on v5

 

i starting to feel really thick.

[Guest bluelewis]

It helps if i read the magazine article

 

On my v5 the last 2 letters of the vin number is LT which makes it a april 1990 car but the v5 says first registered august 1990

but the engine number recorded on v5 says Fe 39255 which would mean it's year is actually dec 1985

think i will spaeak to chap i brought it from as ithought he said he had updated engine on v5 but maybe he meant i need to.

Why are things made so complicated.

Yet again thanks very much so all i need to is send v5 with new engine number

[Guest MarkB]

The v5 is already done, the numbers you have quoted are the cast numbers the engine number on the v5 is correct to that engine you have

High or low compression is determined by the pistons fitted not the block.

High comp pistons are level with the top deck of the block at TDC

Low comp pistons are about 1.5mm down.

Easy to see if head is off

[Snapperpaul]

A compression test can be a guide, somewhere around 170 psi for high compression.

Figures are quoted in Haynes manual for expected pressure in all the compression variants.

High compression engine has pistons 0.5 mm below block deck ( some like mine were measured at .0.381)

Low compression 1.5 and a rrare US spec 1 mm.

Burton performance do a 1 mm gasket this adds 0.5 to your compression ratio.

Reinze do a 1.3 mm gasket, the standard older gasket is 1.6 mm
