fergus mk2 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 what are them heads are they actually twin cam ??????
Joe-ashtonmobile Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Posted May 28, 2007 what are them heads are they actually twin cam ?????? yes mate, normal pinto head with the cam carrier machined off then 2 gear driven cams in a carrier with buckets and shims , which then runs off a normal 1600 pinto cambelt , clever yeah
mk2 matt Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 wow , never seen a pinto like that , whats the advantage of doing that? .
Admin Vista Posted May 28, 2007 Admin Report Posted May 28, 2007 Looks nice but sounds pricey, as asked above, what are the advantages of it?
Joe-ashtonmobile Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Posted May 28, 2007 wow , never seen a pinto like that , whats the advantage of doing that? . my dad will have to explain that mate i know he said there is a vernia on the cambelt wheel and the cam gears have adjustable pins so you can alter the whole cam timing set up and get more power ,i think thats right
Jeff HPE Motorsport Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 That looks the nuts Jo, not seen that before, cant wait to see what it pulls on the rollers...!!! Jeff Harris...
Joe-ashtonmobile Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Posted May 28, 2007 That looks the nuts Jo, not seen that before, cant wait to see what it pulls on the rollers...!!! Jeff Harris... ello jeff , well my dad said the cams are not too hot just sort of fast road but he had the head done up large valves and the ports done , your dad likes it as well he came up when my dad was putting it together and had a look
Col-ashtonmobile Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 cheers everyone , it revs really well but the cams are not too lairy as he doe,snt race it just uses it on the road about 6 times a year , so probably not as powerful as i would have liked too have gone when building it, but i have to respect his wishes for what he wants to use the car for
Osgood Isgood Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 Badgers nadgers springs to mind...............as a result of this site, I really am beginning to like yellow cars!
Rich Sav Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 because its twin cam dose that mean its 16 valve as well??
J_mk1 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 because its twin cam dose that mean its 16 valve as well?? yeah it should do.... that is the point of a twin cam engine isnt it? although there are sum funni engines that are single cam and 16v, and vice versa i think... ...not sure
Admin Vista Posted May 29, 2007 Admin Report Posted May 29, 2007 because its twin cam dose that mean its 16 valve as well?? No it doesn't it just means that the exhaust valves and the inlet valves are operated by separate cams, the Twin cam engine fitted to the Mk1 Escort and Cortina for instance is an 8 valve engine as are all of the early Alfa twin cam engines. Whereas the twin cam Ford BD series are 16 valve. As to whether this engine is 16 or 8 valve you'll have to ask the builder.

It gives greater flexibility to play with overlap & cam timing. I vaguely remember these, don't think they sold many as the overall valve area doesn't increase & that's what the majority of people want My mate google found this & a new site to add to favourites! http://www.spannerfodder.com/the_works_escorts-generic-image.php?imageName=images/the_works_escorts/pinto/pipertwi.gif You can see 8 buckets And found this discussion on TurboSport: http://www.turbosport.co.uk/showthread.php?t=111261
