I've just bought £102,88 quid for the crank and cam pulley,and 22 quid for import duties. I'm also in the process of checking my camshaft lift,a possibility the drive train could be worn,but have measured the cam lobes and they are near the specified measurements,and the lifters/tappets

Thankyou gents. Yes,I am aiming for a couple of mm's of extra lift.

@Calovera,have you installed it yet? I did the accuspark on my Cortina,can't fault it

Hi Paul, Hey thanks for the pictures of your Capri Cabaret fella. Looks fantastic mate and yep you don't see many of these about nowadays. It looks in really nice condition too and lovely colour. Thanks for taking the time to show us...BUT it would be great to see some pictures of under the bonnet ...

the 1.6 pinto? I'm sure there's better. Although it's not bad for 72bhp compared to my 2 litre Cortina. The 1.6 does feel it on an incline.
