Gday,
Does anyone know how I can identify whether my pinto is high or low compression based on the engine number? I remember going to a sight that explained all the codes and what they meant including paint, engine, etc etc. Does anyone know the site Im talking of? Many thanks! (MK2 Esky by the way) |

besides doing a compression test, i dont think there is any real way of know.
actually, it its the original motor, if the car was an auto, it would be low compression, manual = high compression. this is the site you're probably thinking of. http://www.rsmotorsport.com.au/ford_...scortmkii.html

Thats the one I was after mate. Cheers.
Yeah Im doing compression test at the moment but if all the values are low then it could be either a low compression or a high compression with problems. Either way Im fairly confident its a high comp. Thanks again for the link |

but if theres something wrong, you'd be unlucky that all 4 cyls were all over the place. if it has the original rocker cover, unofficially, blue rocker covers are LC, and black covers are HC. but i dunno how right that is.
