New engine almost ready
Got all the parts together for my new engine. Should hopefully get it running this weekend 
 
Head showing valves
 
Close up of big valves
 
Inlet porting
 
Short motor
Spec:
- +0.50mm Karl Schmidt pistons
- ARP rod bolts
- Vandervell big and main bearings
- Polished crank
- Balanced rods
- High pressure oil pump
- Ported and polsihed head
- 10.8:1 compression
- Piper 285 cam
- 45.5mm stainless inlet valves
- 38.1mm stainless exhaust valves
- Vernier cam pulley
- R1 bike carbs
Should go a bit better than my standard 1.6L long stroke Pinto anyway

Looking good Andy
I need to finish my porting job off when I get home. Need to sort out my valve guides mainly. Have you got any more pics of yours i can go on?
Cheers,
David

Afraid I haven't any without the valves fitted. I'll try and take one of an exhaust port though.
Just slapped a coat of paint on so I can't touch it until tomorrow though.

It's a 2L Pinto.
Took it for the first drive today. Went well apart from blowing 1/2L of oil all over the place through the breather.
I'm keeping it below 5K until it's run in but it still goes like poo off a spade. I reckon about 160-170BHP at the flywheel. Will have it
dyno'd when run in.

Whilst not a fan of the old boat anchor, this proves you can still make a silk purse out of a sows ear if you want, and they're still plentiful

Agreed. Not the most subtle of engines, but they're really torquey, simple to build, cheap to fix and actually pretty reliable - not much goes
wrong with them other than bore wear and rattly cams at mega mileages.
Also still a good choice for those of us who don't like the Zetec
