After spinning it up sans plugs and injector connectors to get the oil distributed, and having found the missing connection to make the fuel pump go (why on earth fiat route the fuel pump via the instrument panel I have no idea!) the beast fired up on the first turn of the key. The fuel and oil and coolant had remained happily on the inside for a week - there was a small annoyance when I discovered gear box oil dripping, but that turned out to be a drive shaft not fully home - and so while there is a lot more work to do, it's coming home to me next week and it should be mobile for Stoneleigh.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Message for Andrew (S3 151) - Pinto to Zetec
If the cam belt isnt moving its probably because the teeth are ripped off at the crankshaft or the tensioner is u/s. If I remember right, the pinto doesn't bend valves (could be mistaken), so a new belt and tensioner should get you back up and running. Even if there is valve contact, the head is an easy one to strip off, replace 4 inlet valves and refit.

Ian Hello Ian, Thanks for the info, the timing is perfect, about 2 hours after the meet my current 1.6 Pinto decided enough was enough !! I honestly was not pushing it that much either.. The engine is almost certainly dead (cam belt not moving but intact, no leaks, holes elsewhere etc) but I have yet to find the broken bits ! (Car on the stands, nose cone off this weekend !) Although annoying, it wasn't raining, I was 200 yards from a friends house with coffee, and recovery only took 55 minutes so could be worse My dilemma now is do I go for a quick fix replacement old pinto just to get back on the road or move the plans for the zetec forward along with the bill and time to complete ! I have spend the late nights looking at whether I can realistically do the zetec in smaller chunks (both time and £) i.e. basic ford ecu, basic exhaust manifold, single inlet, but QM61 suggests it is still a big change. I have dropped an email to Mark at Q, but not heard anything yet (1 week +) so will call him soon. Nigel - Thanks also- I have read that the silver tops had a few problems ( overheating i think ?) - I didn't realise the SE exhaust was the same side, so excluded it from my list. I definitely need more research. One thing is certain- I need an engine crane !!! off to ebay ...
