Love the tacho footage. Here in 2023, you could get Ai to clean up all the Video interlacing lines in the footage. Wild Mk1 2.0L.... amazing its easily revving to over 8000rpm. Thats normally left for the BDA engines.
Back in 1974 I bought a RS2000 with standard exhaust system on it.Why do people put these noisey exhausts on cars nowadays? The only decent sound is from a vee 8 engine in my oplnion.
I had a orange twin cam with a pinto 2ltr in it. All the gear. Used to pin the tacho at 8000rpm count to 3 then hit the next gear. It would pull 7800rpm in top gear. Awsombe fun.
WHY TF do you insist on playing TOTALLY irrelevant music over the engine noise? WTF is wrong with you?? One of my favourite engines ruined by the shite video, and I only managed 27 seconds. Give your head a serious shake fella!!
the valves are ticking. But that is standard on a old ford. I had one Sierra 1,8 mk1. First car. Then I got an escort MK3 1,6. Then escort mk4. after mk4 again. And they was all ticking. Specially the MK3.;but the all 4 drove fine. At that time the cars was very expensive here in danmark. so I could just effort to drive ford. I upgraded later to a 323i E30. And have never drive ford since. but I really like those old escorts. Mk 1 mk2. But they are so crazy expensive . :(
We call it the 2000cc Pinto here in the States , in Europe you call it the RS 2000... because you never had the Pinto....Either way...my favorate inline 4cyl OHC...Really responded well to Performance mods...I had it in the Capri Mark 1 and the Pinto....Manual Transmission was a must....Gears ..Carburation...and RPM....it loved all three...👍
Geiles teil ich hatte bis vor kurzem einen RS 2000 MK2 fast orginal und zu 80% fertig , leidef wurde mir das Auto mit allem Zubehör geklaut. Pass gut auf deinen Schtz auf die Chance meinen zu finden sagt die Polizei sei sehr gering
Marc Pencott Nope, no carbs here, you can clearly see it if you open your eyes ;). Like I originally said, ITB's (individual throttle bodys) with injection and judging by the looks of the injectors and the hoses/piping to them it's actually an old skool mechanical injection, which is very special in it's own way. I have Weber 45 DCOE's on my own Pinto engine and I know how they look.
