X/Flow Starter Motor
rucksak - 9/9/13 at 08:52 PM

Hi, I have a 2.0 Pinto Engine with a X/Flow Gearbox, i am after a starter motor to fit, the stater i need is a 3 bolt fixing, sits on the passenger side of the car.
Or does anyone know any part numbers that may help me, i got 2 so far from my local spare shop which i have had to return as both that were listed for a 1977 mk2 escort ended up with the starter solinoid upside down.

Upside down is fine as long as it fits.

Are you using the Pinto flywheel or the crossflow flywheel ?

Hi, using a X/flow flywheel, thought about using one upside down but the car will be a bit low to the road.

You need to know is the flywheel is for an inertia starter or a pre-engage starter or is is the universal type that works with either. The difference lies in which side off the ring gear has a chamfered lead in for the starters drive gear.

2 litre Pintos all used a a pre-engage starter, early 1600 Pintos used an inertia starter and most but not all xflos used an inertia starter.

Lrs00110 is the lucus part very hard to get as most people supply lrs00168 but I do know a place in Sutton in Ashfield
