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 :oops:

 

I think it'll still be an 8-valver, the description said "pinto cam carriers ground off"

 

ground off :evil: ground off :evil: wot as in using an angle grinder :evil:

NO NO IT SAID MACHINED OFF !!!!!!! is how it,s done :lol: only joking m8 :wink:

 

yeah it,s a normal 8 valve pinto head obviously bigger valves & ports

with no cam carrier lobs and the twin cam carrier bolts down where the ball studs would normally go :thumbsup:

seem to remember there were some 16v heads back in the day for the pinto available "warrior" or somehting springs to mind but never saw one in real life - expect they were ultra expensive when new

You can still get warrior pintos now, Connaught competition engines supply them but expect to pay £16k + VAT for a new one ready to go, it's a further £460.00 + VAT for an exhaust manifold for a Ford Escort Mk 1/2:
