2litreScapri 31 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Unless someone will correct me, high compression unless it's a P100 then it's a low compression Pinto. My mate came unstuck with that as he wanted a 2.0 Pinto for his Capri & got one out of a P100, only to find it was low compression version. Sold it to someone wanting to turbo it.

Snapper 89 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 I used a low compression engine as a base for 1 of my 2.1 builds. I got a low compression 205 block with injection rods for peanuts, in the end I replaced rods with Cosworth ones and V6 Pistons so have a set of low compression Pistons on injection rods somewhere. I believe the low compression variants are also found in Transits The only way you can tell is by the engine code on the VIN plate or taking off the head and measuring the piston to deck height The low compression engine is 8.2 to 1 the high comp 9.2 to 1 I thought there was an 8.7 to 1 for countries with poor fuel Engine code NAE for low compression and I can only find P100 but don't have a Transit Haynes Link to post Share on other sites
