- I've been driving my Mk2 1600 sport around for a while since restoring it back in 2019, it's super fun but lacking in something..... POWER!
Join me in this video as we carry on rebuilding the 1600 sport cross flow engine!

I appreciate your attention to detail and cleanliness of your builds and the shop. It's very hard to find shops here in the states like yours.
There’s something special about the crossflows whether it’s a 1300 1600 etc etc they just have a very distinctive sound through the rev range and would rev to the moon and back!! I love the fact you stuck to the original paint scheme too
Paul, the 1300 crossflow pistons at + 0.060" will not reduce the swept volume or capacity of the engine, it will still be 1660cc approx, but they will increase the compression ratio from 9.0:1 o 10.3:1.
Shh 🤫 lol in my head it makes it under 1650 ha ha.
Thanks for sharing your content.
The old 711M block from the Cortina Gt. Safe to bore to 1700 with the thick cylinder walls but good to keep around 1650 for peace of mind.
Stuck one in our Lotus 7 with a gas flowed head and double valve springs. Lightened flywheel and balanced.
It’s always nice to know the engine shouldn’t give you trouble 👌🏻
Will be amazing to drive when its finished. Brilliant work on that engine 👍
Cheers Ricky, hopefully have some power 👍👍
Love the format of Timelapse with you explaining things as you go. Also these classics are awesome real cars, so much nostalgia
The way you put your content together is golden! Don’t milk it you put in the work and don’t cut corners💪🏼 set the perfect example
Long live the mighty Xflow and the Ford Escort 💪👌 I've just finished my 10 yr restoration build on my Grandfather's Mk2 ghia that he bought new in 76, he had a amazing and unbelievable WW2 story, so as well as looking absolutely amazing now, a brand new forged 1700 on 45s now gives it a symphony on full beans that I'm sure he can hear👍, well the 5 times I've driven the car anyway in-between fixing the next issues😂 😢.
Happy New Year mate.
It'll be interesting to see those power run differences 👍 10:27
Same to you Big Keg, keep finding those hotwheels deals buddy 👍
Happy New Year, Paul! Hope 2024 is good to you & yours 😊 Keithy's paint job on the Escort still looks the business!! Cheers. Leigh.
Great to see a continuation of this series! Great work
That was great.
I went for the 244 cam in 1700 crossflow. Mind you that was back in 1999. 😂
Awesome little bullet proof engines if built right.
I can’t wait to see you do a back to back dyno run showing the difference between stock GT two barrel carb and twin 40mm DCOE’s.
🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀☮️
You make a skilled job look very easy here, Paul!
Great to see the Escort coming to life and happy new year
Cheers Craig, yes first road test tomorrow to start bedding the rings in. Happy new year to you too buddy 👍
Great video, amazing work, beautiful engine, looking forward to seeing the rolling road results 👍👌😀
Nice to see those power figures with the bigger carbs, I have a 1690cc x/flow with the a Kent 234 cam and a head from CTM performance and and a set of 40 DCOE 151 carbs and the usual Ashley manifold and a single box 2 inch system also using Lumenition in the dissy, and my car made 96 bhp @ the wheels.
Regards
Dave. 😀
Good vid
Awesome year mate happy new year
Looking forward to the rest of the build. And the carb swap on the dyno. Cheers from Oz,where it's the day after NYE...
just found your channel with the mk1 .. subbed insta due to the knowledge and the prof content.. and ofc also an anti chromer here .. i find it extremly impressive that you can take apart complete engines.. and just slap em together like this
😎👌🏻all the best for the new year and look forward to seeing what you have to come 👍🏻
Cracking build going to be sweet
Built a few screamers back in the day lol
Happy New year when it comes bud
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁✌️🤞
And to you Chopper, hope you have a mint 2024! 👍
Heya Paul! I stumbled upon your videos only recently, and i have to say, i love them! You appear to be living the absolute dream! Your videos have inspired me to get my own workshop finished so that i can enjoy evenings tinkering away on my own toys 😂
Keep up the good work matey.
Excellent work 👍nice to see 😊
Love the 1600 Sport built. Happy New Year 😃🎉🎆
Still a great engine. Simple and easy to build. Look forward to 2024. Happy new year. 👌🏻
Loved working on my old x flow .built it to 1750 using Vulcan parts
Nice engine build and Happy New Year. Look forward to seeing more in 2024
Thanks John, hope you have a good 2024 too mate 👍👍
excellent ure back on form mate nice one
Great timing Paul better watching this than the usual crap on Tv looking forward to seeing this it’s going to be a beauty all the best for the New Year
Wondered when the Escort videos were due back. Lovely to see it coming along nicely. Happy New Year.
Nice vid paul that mk2 sport got to be a keeper 👌🏽👌🏽👍🏻👍🏻

happy new year mate - keep them vids coming!
Cheers buddy, hope you have a great one too 👍

Nice. It's probably the most satisfying thing to build a good engine.
Happy New Year. Looking forward to more stuff in the new year..
Thanks Gray, hope you have a great one too mate 👍
Happy New Year Paul, have a good one 😁
Love your Videos ;-)
happy new mate looking forward to watching in the new year
Cheers Mark, hope you have a good one too mate 👍
Happy new year mate
Nice 👍 best wishes for 2024
Another interesting upload 👍
But as my ex used to say, I wish it was a bit longer 😂
Bit of confusion there. Crown hight doesn't affect CC'S if the piston is taller as tdc it's taller at bdc. Swept volume bore area× stroke of the crank is the only info needed for engine size. What the 1300 pistons do give with their taller crown hight, is a higher cr.
Does make a cracking little engine for virtually no money (it's all relative) 🙂
You are correct. When he said that it made my brain hurt a bit. Man's high school maths failed him badly here.
+.030" gives you 1629cc irrespective of the crown height. The 1300 piston reduces the combustion volume, not the swept volume.
@@5CGQ Many make the same mistake. The guy is a very highly skilled tech. How often do people do this kind of work.
Many guys in the motor trade for 30 years or more have not rebuilt an engine, unless it's a hobby or something special, the cost out ways the value of the car.
Realistic cost for a x flow like on the vid, which should give 130+ hp is £5k it's just what things cost.
Happy new year m8
Happy new year buddy 👍🍺
Loving the content. Can't wait to see the z3. Hopefully you get to the Audi Ur 😊
YOUR a GOOD Man ( ntoo old to call u a good LADD ) great content as per
happy new year buddy all the very best wishes
And to you Desmond, have a good one mate 👍👍
Look nice in my garage ❤
Oh God, I wish I knew Paul in the NEC would give you a 1740 engine I got in the garage I got no use for would love you ues it
Thinking of building a Kitcar next year with a cross flow in, will buy it off you 100%
@@ODDAutos it be in the boot of the car and on in the way too you in the new year have the kettle on. I’ll be in contact have great new year’s 👍🏻
Cool mate! Found out that old Haynes book build your own car for £250 that I bought years ago. Wondered how much it’d cost these days now there’s loads of aftermarket mk2 parts to buy.
i am building a zetec "blacktop" to go in my mk2 , with a difference i am fitting an xflow water pump conversion !
Great video and a very nice home workshop! Do you still have the big unit with the paint booth? Cheers
you need to watch penguin motors, graham has already got all the dyno answers...
all the best for the new year young man
And you Paul, have fun mate 👍
Looking very nice Paul. I have a 1600 Sport that has been sitting around awaiting restoration for too long - need to get finger out!
Just a quick question - has the heater bowl on yours been modified to be removeable? Did I miss this mod on a previous video?
Thanks for the content - Happy New Year mate.
Excellent build vid. So pleased you pulled the raffle on this car now. I had £50 on it. I would love to know how much this rebuild has cost.👍
Have a look at Penguin Motors, he does loads of xflow and pinto stuff, cams/carbs/manifolds etc.
You can get exhaust manifold gaskets that can cope with. 062" dents.

HNY bud,good to see you here again 😎😎.
Quick question,did you steal the sugar dispenser from indoors by chance?🤔🤔🤣
After running a 38, v6 capri carb on my 1700 xf then 40s then gain was not worth the pain but when you add the music it was.
The noise it the best bit 100% 😍😍
HNY and here's to more great content in 2024 🎉
Cheers MD, hope you have a great on too buddy 👍👍
Like car
My mate had a very similar escort in the late 80s,I’m sure it had a demon tweeks engine??
Cool 👍👍
Hi I would like to know to replace diff shim replacement on the 1600 sport please and how to alignment Enjin and driveshaft angle so there are no vibration on hi speeds
Hi, Any CC within the piston will not actually change the engine displacement. You only work with the bore diameter in the calculator to go you your overall displacement. Difference in piston dome etc will only affect the compression ratio.
ENGINE CAPACITY/DISPLACEMENT
Information required: 1. Cylinder bore, 2. Crankshaft stroke, 3. Number of cylinders
Calculation: 0.7854 x bore x bore x stroke x number of cylinders.
Example: Bore = 81mm (8.1cm), Stroke = 77.6mm (7.76cm), cylinders = 4
Solution: 0.7854 x 8.1 x 8.1 x 7.76 x 4 = 1599.5cc
Crossflows love compression. I would be use flattop pistons.
Also the 1300 pistons have you checked the pin to deck height, because if they have the same bore as a 1600... Where is the reduction in displacement to make it a 1300? The stroke must be different, they might not even work with the 1600 stroke/crank
So if i have +0.020 pistons does that make the engine 1620cc
Full detail carbs video?
why no balancing
I miss building proper old school engines😔 building renault qashqai's and peugeot diesels gets depressing after a while
I don’t miss injector seals on the HDi’s, probably the dirtiest engine know to man lol.
@@ODDAutos in London the first low emission zone took all the 500k old peugeot hdi cabs off the road, but now Ulez have taken all the reliable cars off the road and replaced them with disposable s#!t that burn oil and don't hold water straight from the sales Forecourt 😔
WhatsApp, dear mate, you usually have with you is he no longer with you?
