2.0 Ford Pinto First Start in 2022 | Oil Prime and Startup Attempt (Ford SOHC Capri Cold Start)

After many months of neglect I'm about to try start the 2.0 Pinto engine under the hood of my mk3 Ford Capri. As it's been a while since the engine last ran I'm doing a quick health check before turning the key. This involves removing the spark plugs and the rocker cover then giving the valvetrain a visual inspection - making sure I've got no unusual wear to the cam or the followers, and that the valve stem seals are in position and look in good health. Once that's done I'm going to prime the oil system. This is important as it ensures oil has worked it's way around the engine before I attempt to start it. This is especially crucial on a freshly built engine, but also doesn't hurt if the engine has sat for a while (like mine!)

The Engine in this video is a Modified 2.0 Pinto (SOHC) Engine out of my 1978 Ford Capri. For more Information, Tech, & Maintenance Tips on this classic 4 - banger, check out this playlist:    • Ford Pinto (SOHC) Engine - Maintenanc...
