  • will the crapi have an unleaded head?

    Not quite sure as what fuel i should be running the capri on, normal unleaded with additive , or just unleaded?

    It is a 1.6 pinto , car is a 1986 model and it is the type with the bigger seat on the rocker cover .

    cheers for any advice

    From around 1986, Ford started to fit hardened valve seats to a lot of their engines, and from 1989 all Ford engines were equipped with 'Hard Heads'. It is possible that some of these found their way into some of the very last Capris. These hard heads have certain markings on them for identification.

    The 1600 OHC with hardened valve seats will have either an 'M', 'MM', 'N', on 'NN' stamped on the exhaust flange adjacent to number 4 spark plug hole. The 2 litre OHC will either have a 'P', 'PP', 'R' or 'RR' stamped in the same place and the 2.8 Injection will have a 'D' or an 'E' stamped on the exhaust flange. The 3 litre Essex or 1300 and 1600 Kent engines were never built with Hard heads, but the Valencia engine as used in the Fiesta and Escort is very similar to the Kent, and these engines are still used today.
