Getting a bit more from a 1.6 Pinto
A long story, but I am stuck with my 1.6 pinto for a little while yet before I upgarde to somthing else.
I currently have a lightened flywheel, Weber 32/35 DGV carb, piper cross airfilter.
The poor old cam is really stating to show its age & mileage now. The rest of the head, valve seats etc seem to be in really good condition. Has
anyone on here had any experience in fitting a very mild perfomnce cam to a 1.6 e-max pinto.
Cheers,
B

Is the e-max a low compression engine?

Fit a standard 2.0 cam to it, it's supposed to perk them up a bit for not much money.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Difference between a 1.6 and a 1.6 GT (or indeed S) was 2.0 Valves and a 2.0 cam shaft. and a better flowing carb.
Seems you've already done the carb, now just do the head work.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.
