Yes, i think it would have had a V4 1750cc originally?

@@ClassiccarbscoukBeing it is LHD, it could possibly be a 1500, 1750 or 2000 Taunus V4. Interesting project, looking forward to it's progress. Cheers!

@@05gtdriver thank you for this 😎👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Subscribed! I think a Pinto 2.0L transplant would probably be the easiest solution if you're unable to revive the 1.6L.

@@05gtdriver A 2.0L pinto will find it's way in this old girl, regardless of the 1.6L engine's future. I built a 2.2 pinto about 10 years ago. Here is a link (not sure if it works): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oruGabmks5vMnpc.html Thank you for Subscribing!!! = ) Emmanuel

Ah Bless you mate :) Just posted a short update, watch that one first! Thanks for your support buddy :) Emmanuel

It might have been on the M1 1 year ago Bug, but not in the last few weeks. In the last few weeks, it was on the M6 and the M5 however... Maybe you saw it.. Who knows!! ;)

Neil, we are up to part 34... Search for the entire playlist in my channel 👌🎩😊👍🏼🛠

@@Classiccarbscouk 👍 I'm on it.

Paul, isn't paraffin and diesel the same thing? I might be wrong though... Thanks for the tip btw Emmanuel : )

@@Classiccarbscouk No .. Paraffin is a fuel type of product with no lubrication properties whatsoever. Diesel is a fuel oil based product, and in fact, apart from the lower bearings, a diesel will self lubricate .. hence why so may diesels go on for the high mileages they do. In fact .. for the cost of a gallon of diesel, i would fill the sump with it also (this may help to lubricate the bearings, but make sure you drain it like a flushing oil after you get the engine turning over)

Saw a mechanic using a mix of diesel and brake fluid to unseize an engine. Worked a treat.

50:50 ATF to acetone. 👍👍

A bit of Marvel Mystery oil down each cylinder, let it sit for a while, and then the engine should be free.

Thank you for watching and for your comment 👍🏼😊

Hahaha!! Love this

Hehehe!! OK ;)

Dave, thank you for sharing your dad's & bro's project. Would love to see a photo of their work!

Classiccarbs.co.uk i wish i had pix. lil bro died in 09 and the car was sold some years ago. he was 18 when he got it, 20 when they finished and had it until 41 (along with 2 mustangs). also had a tremendous stereo with cabs we built to math eq and amps ahead of the times. he has the mustangs facing together on his superb memorial headstone - i miss him terribly Happy Easter!

@@_dave4460 Bless you mate. Happy Easter to you too wherever you are!! : )

I think you are referring to the consul capri..

Thank you Marc. I am guessing you have the 2.0L version? I would also like to install that engine after this 1.6L project is completed. Or a V8.... 😁 Thanks! Emmanuel

You ARE an angel - Thank you for this ;)

Thank you Marty, that's encouraging to read : ) It will need a rebuild, and hopefully something i can do on my workbench. A 2L will more than likely end up in there regardless of this 1.6L 's result. Just want to start the B*******d = ) Thanks, Emmanuel

@@Classiccarbscouk thanks for replying , we didn't get the 1600ohc in Australia unfortunately but I've heard the head has a smaller combustion chamber than 2.0, with some porting and valves etc , pinto's thrive on high compression, then add it to a 2.2(bored & stroked) bottom end and you'll have a good torquy setup👍

The main ingredient of WD40 is paraffin my friend....Your welcome.

I've just today freed up a seized BMW 2002 engine that was well and truly stuck for years. Loads of heating on the piston tops then cool them with WD40 repeatedly. WD40 is for all intents diesel fuel. I've ran many a small diesel on the stuff.

Agree with ya there, Diesel fuel is excellent for unlocking some engines

WD40 was invented fir space travel to keep moisture out if the electronics and dries out,so to be used for seized engines is a bit doubtful.

Andy Peek . Yes the rear number plate did like to have a look at the road ahead from time to time. Too much weight forward that’s why they were never raced seriously. Escorts as Sierras were better platforms.

@@dan40754 Old folk keep saying 'put a bag of cement in the boot, it'll be alright!) Lol!! Is it that bad? Damn Emmanuel

Classiccarbs.co.uk , they are not great, yes you can weigh down the back end and that will help to some extent. I once saw a MK1 facelift Capri that had the spare wheel well filled with cement. It was amazing that the arse did not fall out of it. I had a Mk2 and to solve some of the rear end wander out of corners I fitted single leaf springs and Koni air adjustable shocks. This did make it track better. I would suggest that you look for a MK1 1600 crossflow to fit into the Capri. The exhaust you have will be on the wrong side. If you look for a 2 litre (good luck with that), a 3 litre may be easier to find as they were used longer that the V4 in transits and later Capri’s prior to the very crap Cologne 2.8. It may be best to contact the Capri owners club or try some local scrap yards. The 1600 Kent series was used in Escorts up to the introduction of the Mk3 XR3 era so you might have better luck there.

Correct. I had a 1972 1600GT back in the 70s and the engine was nothing like this one

Is this a joke or are you being serious? I dont know what to expect from people commenting here. I thought iodine was a pharmaceutical product?

Only hope I can manage to get it up and running 🤞

Thank you Mikego :) Loads of birds around here, probably cause i like to throw some birdfood out for them in the garden Emmanuel

Thank you for sub centurion 👍🏼🛠🍺🧭🕗😊

My interior is totally wrecked too... I think it became a home for wildlife ;)

@@Classiccarbscouk i started making $600. dollars a week with that car, and then went to Oregon. Was there six years. Car ran good all the time. Drove it back here in 90. Still kept it for awhile.

One of my favorite boxers comes from NZ.. Joseph Parker! Anyway. So, you reckon it's best called a 'TL' engine here in europe? I quite like it :)

The 3 litre V6 is a lovely unit, I had the 3 litre GXL & my brother ran several 3 litres. but the Mk1 booted body shell always looked way better than the fastback version I always thought.

It was proper stuck on! Only when I spotted a good place to fit the crowbar nice and snug, did the head give up its fight

Thank you chopper, I can't afford to get it restored properly so i'm kind of stuffed at the minute.. It's in such a state that i'm not worried about 'damaging' it.

Thank you Steve, will give the auto transmission fluid a go, along with coca cola, hot oil and some other suggestions I've been given here. Eventually it might have to come to blows with a hammer and block of wood.

@@Classiccarbscouk I once freed up a frozen front axle king pin with Coke- about 1966. Poured some in the top for several days= voila!

@Edward Gross I would have eventually attempted a swap but and accident ripped the rear end out. :-( Would have been a good candidate for a tubular chassis set up.

Thank you. I've started part 2 now, so hopefully it will be getting around again

No worries

Thanks! 😎🛠👍🏼🙈

The V4 was also fitted to the Corsair, my Dad had one when I was about 4years old, only the 1700 not the 2 Ltr but still a lovely smooth car to ride in. Auto with column gear shifter and a front bench seat. Then he changed it for a Morris Oxford, wah boo hiss!

Well a chap i know looked at it, and said he has never seen a car with more filler than this one.. Maybe he was just jealous? =)

Was it running?

@@Classiccarbscouk yea it was a load blue beater some one had, people raced them here and by the mid 80s there were very few of them on the road, yours looks just like the one I saw back then/p.s. most of them rusted to pieces by the 80s.

@@allenschmitz9644 yeas, rust prevention was clearly not a priority for Ford back then ; ) Mine is rather rusty too. I guess i like the shape, rear-wheel drive, front engined car. Has a good following here in the UK, and they are relatively cheap. My re-entry ticket to the classic car scene/group. Been raining a lot here in the UK last few weeks, and has slowed down the progress of Part 2. I have started the filming, and hopefully some interesting footage will be born! Thanks for your comment - It means a lot : ) Emmanuel

Crapi? Bet you own an Austin Allegro ..

You are hilarious ;)

It came from Greece, i found it on ebay.co.uk

I pretty much use wd40 on anything that will sit still for a minute 🤣🤣🤣 Not the best, I'm stopping that. Yup, agreed, engine is not going to turn again, unless I remove , strip and rebuild. I'm working up the courage to endeavour to do it! Thanks for your input

@@Classiccarbscouk Seems like the perfect engine for a DiY...I followed the columnist from Classic &Sports Car for years and his exploits with an Escort and a similar sort of engine...he learnt as he went

Ideally a Ford V8 motor on quadruple webers. I'd also like a 2.0L pinto or a grunty 3.0L essex. What you think?

Thanks

Thank you Greg : ) It's a 1.6L pinto, manual transmission gearbox. The interior is awful and it's a LHD (Left-hand drive car - From Greece). Any further efforts on the capri will be filmed, edited and uploaded/posted on this channel (If i can, i will add it to a playlist along with Part -1 , that you have just watched). I'm stuck with progressing as fast as i'd like due to customers waiting for service parts and other commitments that i need to attend to before the capri. Might be a week , 2 or 3 weeks or more, until i will be uploading part - 2, because it must be juicy, to satisfy me and you guys watching. What might be included in next vid: I expect an engine crane hire company will be involved, some degreaser, a block of wood & mallet, a carburettor service kit, ignition leads, an engine stand and some good light to see what i'm doing! And some jack stands. If the 1.6L needs a rebuild, it will have it, andi'll make a small feature of that. Either way, if you are subscribed to my channel, you will find out what happens next : ) Thank you for watching and commenting in this sort of manner - It matters a lot and i appreciate it : ) Emmanuel

Sim, acho que você está correto. Este motor não é original para o carro. Eu acho que originalmente teria um motor V4 de 1750cc. Mas isso desapareceu .. Estou pensando em instalar um bom motor OHC 'Pinto' de 2000cc em algum momento no futuro. Obrigado, Emmanuel

I think this is in Spanish. I cant exactly translate but a 1969 Capri had ohv crossflow 1300cc / 1600cc or 2000cc V4 this has a pinto engine not fitted until 1974 not original engine. Common upgrade or replacement. Had a original 1969 1600GT in Roman Bronze

hehe!! OK

Use it all of the time to release pistons, people even use it to clean old running engines just like the lads who go around doing people's aircon. Don't be afraid of hydrogen, as long as you're only using it on-demand and not trying to store it then it's really safe when ensuring you have the necessary flashback arresters. You want resonance to release the rust and the ignition provides that but at a much higher intensity than that of petrol, you're a big lad trust me you can handle it. All you're thinking of is a hydrogen bomb aren't you haha they're not that bad and if you're concerned about safety just make a dry cell instead of a wet cell if you're really that worried about the water getting on any external electronics. Come on you know you're interested, hydrogen is making moves in Europe specifically because of its safety. Welding is switching over to hydrogen on-demand because storing water is far safer than oxy and acetylene but most is changing to argon instead of acetylene but most companies now are looking into the on-demand hydrogen because it's just water until the electrolysis takes place and cavitation can occur. Be brave, it's only water.

Don't forget, when the heads are on you're also heating the chamber and the sleeves which also helps to release the rust and corrosion. Go and have a look at some wet and dry cells and see what you think before you rite it off because if nothing else you'll have the hottest burning welder you can get which is second to nothing when braising and the braid joins are just as strong as a weld specifically because the hydrogen gas gets that hot it allows both joining surfaces to melt and adhere. I know it says Bumpkin on my name but that's more of me having a dig at myself for the times when I intentionally do silly things. Hydrogen use isn't one of them ;) Have a good en bud (Dan).

And don't treat it like a toy because it's not, if you treat it as such there's a very serious risk of injury or death. Be as respectful of it as you would oxy acetylene because it has a much much much louder bang. Side note, small hydrogen flashbacks are used in light treatment therapy to kill certain viruses and cells.

Thank alaister, I wont be doing that again

Thank you, i'm planning the next effort for the engine situation in my head. I'm thinking i'll more than likely have to remove the engine with a hoist, and probably rebuild it. Thank you for watching & commenting : ) Emmanuel

I happen to really like those MK 1 Ford Capris, my cousin had one here in the US, it was sold as a Mercury Capri and it had the 2 liter Ford OHC engine. Great little car. Much nicer than what we got from FoMoCo in small cars at the time (1971)@@Classiccarbscouk

I thought the same, use a hard wood to get a good energy transfer to the piston, it needs to be shocked, start with the number 2 which didn't absorb any of the fluids aplied.

@@Tom-Lahaye Find hardwood, same size as the whole piston if you can and take it to a lathe turner. Outside diameter just enough to fit the cylinders and a shape to match the piston top, so the force of any hammering is evenly spread. Try to work out which piston is being pulled DOWN by the crank and hit that one first. The distributor position should help finding it.

@@wordreet I mostly agree, but ....try to work out which crank-pin is being pushed down by the piston.....sounds a lot better?

@@midlam99 Same thing, any down stroke will do. Of course we're assuming the crank isn't seized.

Love this. Yes, block of wood and heavy hammer is on the cards next. Also, remove the starter motor to ensure it's not seized whilst in mesh with flywheel (Unlikely, but best cross that off while i'm at it) Thanks for your suggestion : ) Emmanuel

Yes, this has worked for me more than a few times. Just make sure the piston isn’t at the bottom of its stroke.

@@cambo1200 Will do, thank you for advise and suggestions : ) Emmanuel

I believe the capri and the Mustang were designed by the same chap.. He had a good eye for it i guess, they sold really, really well!
