Ah Dave that is very kind of you to write! I'm in the process of re uploading Part 3b, should be on UA-cam in 1,2 hrs . Thank you for the comment and encouragement!! Emmanuel 🙈👙🔥🌙😎⚡🍺☕🎩😁🛠👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
there is something very satisfying and mesmerising watching these old Capri posts, the whole process off taking apart, cleaning and putting back together..... love..... But as much as I love the background music from Radio2 it may come back to bite you, youtube is very good at picking out music, it happened to me on my Magnum leisure centre youtube post had lost of no1 hits from the later 70s only 3 to 5 seconds each and it picked them all up, ended up I had to remove some of them... thought I'd let you know.....
Thank you carsos, well i learned about this today. After i uploaded Part 3b, youtube emailed me warning me about a 10-15 second part in my video about copyright infringement! I deleted the video, and had to go back and re-edit (silence the particular song - which was poop anyway =) and re-upload.. It's fair i guess... Just a pain in the rear end! Note taken : ) Thank you, Emmanuel
Thank you Colin!! 🔥👍🏼😊 Shes got there. Just editing the footage from the weekend, ready for your perusal in 1-2 days. Thank you for your encouragement! Emmanuel 😎🛠🍺⚡😊
This is such a blast from the past for me, i started spannering on my dad's 1981 Ford Taunus with a 1.6L OHC Pinto engine in it. I even 'tuned' that engine. i Swapped the god awefull VV carb, dizzy and stock cam for a Capri 1.6S setup (90hp instead of 72hp) Good times!
Well done - outstanding . love ya style - I've laughed hard as I've watched the same learnings i have made - and still learning today . Cheers From New Zealand
I may be from America but I loved old cars no matter what country they are from the ford capri is one of my top favorites . You are doing a great job on the car and can not wait till u get it up and running and driving
Mate, i have watched and subscribed from the first video, I love that you are attempting this job yourself too, but I have to say, while you have the thing dismantled as far as you have, why not go the next step and do it right ?. At least remove the sump, pistons, put in new rings and big end shells. Lap the valves while the head is off and clean it up properly, you never know, you might find you have a good engine already. And, please don’t use the, decades old timing belt and tensioner if you do try to start this !. I used to work on these a lot, back in the day, and they are a well made, strong engine that were built to last. If you’re planning on restoring the car, keep it original. Watching these videos takes me back and I can’t wait to see this engine run again. Great content, but, for me, a little cringeworthy also. Good to see you are learning and researching as you go along, you already know much more than you did before you started and that’s what life is all about. Already looking forward to the next instalment.
Hey Thanks Kevin. I'm enjoying sharing what i'm doing with you chaps here on UA-cam. That's where the biggest part of the fun i'm having with this lies really. As i said, this is far from a pro, serious rebuild. I'm enjoying the half-wit , care-free attitude i'm giving it, so why get anal about perfection? I tried that once before, and it didn't work out. If the capri somehow needs a good engine to match the rest of the car and it's use, it will get it. Maybe you can bolt a nice 2L OHC for me??!!! = ) Thanks for your comment, support and tips mate : ) Emmanuel
@@Classiccarbscouk i work on motorcycles most of the time when i get chance, so i can really see the challenge you have taken on , keep the videos coming mate !!!
Back in the mid to late 80`s i had three MK1 Capri`s, they were the 3000 E manual, a 3LTR GXL auto and a 3ltr GXL manual. All were great fun and its good to see you bring one back to life even though its a 1600 or is it a 1300 ?. Dude lap the valves in and stick some valve stem seals on other wise its gonna smoke and run like a bag of shite, just saying. Love what your doing and keep up the good work.
Thank you Francis, it's a pathetic 1600cc The valve gear is awful, but so is the rest of the engine, so i'm going to bang it on and somehow find a spark and see what happens!! Thanks, EM : )
Well your getting somewhere now Its just killing me though !!! The Rusty Head You need some parts cleaner in a can or a parts washer ! Cant wait for more mate
Really needs a full top end rebuild - valve stem oil seals , valve regrind , head skim , and you need parts washer . Spending a little will save a lot in the future.
That plate you put back on behind the cam pulley is in the wrong place pal the heart shaped bit to the left should be at the bottom as it's the timing point for the cam belt ,hope this helps 👍
If you had the cam out. I'd have at the very least changed the valve stem oil seals. They will be hard as rock going by the look of the rest of the engine. Just my opinion. Hope you get her fired up. 🤞
Thank you Lee, yes, i can see that being a problem if the engine starts and contiunues to run for more than 30 or so miles. Thank you for the support & tips! Emmanuel : )
I like your safety shoes, i really hope something don't fall on any of you feet. You really need to regrind all the valves in, with grinding paste as you will probably have no compression on two cylinders as the valves seats will probably be rusty from the valves being open, get yourself a valve spring compressor and i can see that your collets are rusty that holds your valves in.
I’m enjoying this video series, I’m no expert, I think the bottom end would benefit from a rebuild as it could last longer than you think. Not sure what your plans are in the long run. Keep up the good work, and continue using this as a learning experience. Will look forward to your future videos. All the best. Steve.
The Pinto is a great (if not a little agricultural) engine. Second only to the Kent Crossflow in my eyes. I'm rebuilding a 1.6 litre X-flow at the moment and it's a peach to work on.
I reckon this’ll turn out alright, once you get her up and running you can do a bit of a rolling resto, just sorting bits over time as and when. FairPlay 👍 looks like a nice little project.
Thanks James, yeah i think this is likely to be the way that works for me. It's still stored under the cover, outside, on the drive, which is not a long term solution for it. Means moving to a bigger house, with bigger garage etc etc.. Thanks for your encouraging comment! Emmanuel : )
This is painful to watch! A crowbar on the belt tensioner, etc. You really need to strip the head, new oil seals, lap the valves, etc a bit of effort now will save so much later on. As this is not the original engine, and cyinder 1 has a leak, it might have been better to swap the engine. A reasonable pinto is not expensive.
Hi gents, missed your live stream by half hour but just watched your perseverance chuffed to bits for you, great work and wish you well 👍 Regards coseley kev
If you don't have a proper parts washer, you can make do with a plastic bucket and something like white spirit or diesel fuel..let it soak some of that gunk off...and use a scrubbing brush!! :D

How rusted is the car? I hope it's in better shape than the engine! The engine is newer than the car, I'm not familiar with British vehicles, but that engine looks like maybe 1980s. The short studs under the rocker-arms on the other side from the valves adjust valve clearance, free those up and find out what the specs are. The people who tell you to use grinding compound on the valve-seats are right, the valves won't seal properly if you don't "lap" them in. You'll be taking that head back off again because there might not be enough compression. Cheers from the USA, my friend :-)
Thank Dave. Yes, this is not the correct engine for the car. That has been lost. So, this is what came with the car, and from an economical point of view, we're trying to see if we can get it to run again.. And yes, I think the valves will need lapping, and the clearances adjusted on the rockers/followers. Thank you very much for your input, it is much appreciated. Love, from England, over to you in the US Emmanuel 😎😊👍🏼🛠⚡🎩🔥
Hmmm... In all honesty i can't afford a full restoration. I've always liked them, had a MK3 2.0S about 15 years ago, and have wanted an early, pre-facelift capri for yonks! So, i'm just taking it all in as it comes. This youtube part of the capri, is really rewarding, with all you chaps watching and enjoying the vids! Thanks Alan, Emmanuel : )
A good start would be to maybe cover your garage bench with an off cut of vynal flooring. It makes cleaning the work area much easier and your parts don't lie in engrained crap. Just a thought.
should totally strip the head marking each valve with each rocker through cardboard, all valve guides will be shot save you having to strip it down later id soak the head in diesel for a couple of days
Hehe!! I do have some bolt-on upgrades in mind, though there is more ground work to be done before they can join the picture. If it runs, i might try taking it to a rolling road for a power run and see what it gives, if it gives!!! : ) Thanks Paul, Emmanuel
Nice new number plates, what I would do with the rear one, to avoid holes where you don't want 'em, make a transfer plate, out of either stainless, or plastic. Copy the hole pattern from the transom panel onto the centreline of the transfer plate. then put your own hole pattern on the number plate, (either on the centreline, or not) and replicate that on the transfer plate, using countersunk screws, and cup washers. That way you can avoid unsightly holes going through characters on edges etc. You may be lucky and the holes in the transom fall perfectly between the characters on the numberplate. Either way sweet plates. Verdict - I think you will get it running, though I would say it will be a tad asthmatic! - What capacity is the Pinto?
Hi Phil, Thank you for this. I have tried anal perfection, and i didn't enjoy it! I would just end up losing interest, and getting frustrated, and skint! I'm enjoying this one, cause i'm sharing it here, and that's enough to justify all the electrocution shocks i'm getting = ) I'm uploading part 3b as i'm typing this message, so should be ready in a few minute on YT. Thanks Phil : ) Emmanuel
It would be better to use a plastic cutter instead of a metal one, and Scocht Brite. There are acid solutions that are used to remove the rust. And using diesel or kerosene cleans and lubricates a lot of all that crap that the engine has.
I had one a few years ago, but a house move changed that! : ) I do have a bead blaster, but i can't use it to clean these 'scrapyard' as it will contaminate the media and cock up the other stuff i do. Thanks for the suggestion however : ) Emmanuel
more parts to the boot which is okay but also worrying as i hope your keep track of those parts n were they went, good way to wake yourself up much better then a mug of coffee or can of monster just wire the battery up wrong gives yuo that jolt you don't want, oh dear that a lotta lime scale in the theoms housing not good darn you hard water area's!! oh want to save that crank shaft thingy it had ford on it not that common to see on that mostly cus they got replaced but other ones that gave more grunt or power, wow that was a gasget seal wonder if that was factory or the 2nd one look to be factory as it stayed in one piece,
@@MegaDirtyberty Come off it ...the point is if you're going to do something at least do it right first time so it's rescued. Yep it's a ford so itwill run on pig swill but that won't help it in the long run.
@@dee106ful The point is it will run and likely will run for many thousands of miles with only oil/filter changes and basic maintenance. If you don't think so then get in touch with the guy rebuilding this engine and offer to pay to get it rebuilt for him, that way I would imagine you would be happy the engine was 'built right' and you don't need to bleat on that he is doing it wrong and it's a "pile of shite".

I'll check the clearances where they meet the cam fingers/followers, but other than that, they are as good (or bad) as the rest of engine 😁😁😁🛠🛠🙈🙈🙈
Nice use of assembly oil on the camshaft.......ooooops!
Should have cleaned the bores up, before you turned it over, new valves seals and lapping in the valves would have been a good idea too....
Thank you David, yeah, perhaps!
Emmanuel
Im surpised the valves didnt need lapping with a polishing compound, but if theyre not leaking, no need to fix them.
I don't know if they leek or not.. I guess it wouldn't hurt lapping them though..
Thanks,
Emmanuel : )
New cam bearings are prolly a couple bucks. I would have lapped them valves.
I want to take a ride off the music is kick butt thanks
hope it help ...
It would be better to use a plastic cutter instead of a metal one, and Scocht Brite. There are acid solutions that are used to remove the rust. And using diesel or kerosene cleans and lubricates a lot of all that crap that the engine has.
How long for part three b 👍oil pump is working good 👍

@@Classiccarbscouk thank you water pump housing really had it lol
How much percent you give that engine its going to work?
Panagioti, i give it 100% :)
all we can do is pray...
@@jackobyuk Hehe!! Thanks = )
You could do with getting a parts washer
I had one a few years ago, but a house move changed that! : )
I do have a bead blaster, but i can't use it to clean these 'scrapyard' as it will contaminate the media and cock up the other stuff i do.
Thanks for the suggestion however : )
Emmanuel
more parts to the boot which is okay but also worrying as i hope your keep track of those parts n were they went,
good way to wake yourself up much better then a mug of coffee or can of monster just wire the battery up wrong gives yuo that jolt you don't want,
oh dear that a lotta lime scale in the theoms housing not good darn you hard water area's!! oh want to save that crank shaft thingy it had ford on it not that common to see on that mostly cus they got replaced but other ones that gave more grunt or power,
wow that was a gasget seal wonder if that was factory or the 2nd one look to be factory as it stayed in one piece,
I hope you don't have the alternator connected, or I think you just fried all the diodes when you put the battery on backwards.
James, what/where are the diodes?
In any case, i will take it they are now cooked..
Thanks for the tip/information.
Emmanuel : )
@@Classiccarbscouk I believe they are built into the alternator. You might be lucky, but I wouldn't count on it.
you have done that wrong, you should of cleaned it proper first
U tube made me watch this out of sync, watched B first. I think you have your "it" in the title wrong, should read "it will start* ;-)
Put motorcycle chain lube on the cam.
I added some weird stuff on the cam... not sure about the graphite powder! The colloidal graphite is good though.
Thanks for the tip!
👍🏼🛠😊

@@Classiccarbscouk this comes from an engine builder that's built more pintos than most people have had hot dinners lol! Me . Good bye take care.
you should put the whole top in a bath of rust remover before putting it together. so the lifters and springs get clean.
Thank you Dr Jackoby UK
I should put the whole car in a bath 😁👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🛠🛠🛠🎩
@@Classiccarbscouk i have some good advice if you would like it pm me thanks
@@Classiccarbscouk 10,000 gallons of evaporust, wonder if they will sponsor you with a truckload and a swimming pool to use it in?
What a find. A mk1 capri. Just a pity this bloke found it
Spot on ,, anyone else but him..
don't do anything this guy is doing. It is entertaining though.
That I'm sorry to say still is a pile of shite.....won't last 1000 miles.
And here we have folks what is called an internet 'expert' in their prime disparaging anything they deem unsavable.
@@MegaDirtyberty
Come off it ...the point is if you're going to do something at least do it right first time so it's rescued. Yep it's a ford so itwill run on pig swill but that won't help it in the long run.
@@dee106ful The point is it will run and likely will run for many thousands of miles with only oil/filter changes and basic maintenance. If you don't think so then get in touch with the guy rebuilding this engine and offer to pay to get it rebuilt for him, that way I would imagine you would be happy the engine was 'built right' and you don't need to bleat on that he is doing it wrong and it's a "pile of shite".
Where is your work? 😂
how can anyone , lost for words . what a joke'
It's really terrible
