		The Ford Pinto used the OHC version, a 2.3 L (2302 cm³) unit introduced in 1973 which has a 96.0 mm (3.78 in) bore and 79.5 mm (3.13 in) stroke.

	THE FORD PINTO CASE:
		The debate was heightened because the prosecutor of Elkart County, Indiana chose to prosecute Ford for reckless homicide and criminal recklessness.
		Ford was not in violation of the law in any way and had to make the decision whether to incur a cost to fix the obvious problem internally.
		The result of the Ford Pinto case indicate there is a belief held by most of the public that it is wrong for a corporation to make decisions which may sacrifice the lives of its customers in order to reduce the company's cost or increase its profits.

	Rebuild pinto engine from Ford Capri
		I was especially pleased with the sound of the engine which had settled down after a shaky start, and the noise from the rocker box was surprisingly smooth and mechanical rather than the metallic clattering heard before the rebuild.
		The instructions for the cam shaft said that the engine should be run for a minimum of 5 minutes at over 1500rpm to allow the cam lobes to bed in.
		At the end of this period the engine was nice and hot and most of the smoke had dispersed.

	Ford Pinto engine - Definition, explanation
		The Ford Pinto engine is the unofficial but ubiquitous nickname for a 4 cylinder internal combustion engine built by the Ford Motor Company in Europe.
		It was used in many European Ford cars and was exported to the United States to be used in the Ford Pinto, a successful compact car of the 1970s, hence the name which is used most often for the unit.
		The Pinto engine was available in displacements of 1.3 L, 1.6 L, 1.8 L and 2.0 L. Due to emission requirements it was phased out towards the end of the 1980s to be replaced by the CVH engine and DOHC engine, the latter being a twin-cam development of the Pinto unit.

		In Europe, the Ford Granada was produced at both its German factory in Cologne and its British factory in Dagenham from between 1972 until 1976 when production switched entirely to Germany until it was discontinued in 1985.

		It was a development of the previous car, the main differences being the "Cologne" V6 engine in 2.3 L and 2.8 L forms replacing the older "Essex" unit, and the introduction of features such as air conditioning and fuel-injection.

		The Ford Pinto is a subcompact car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company for the North American market, first introduced in 1971, and built through the 1980 model year.
		The Pinto would be later complemented by the imported, but even smaller front wheel drive Ford Fiesta, and formally replaced by the more modern Escort, patterned after the technically advanced front-drive Volkswagen Rabbit for the 1981 model year.
		Though the cars were thoroughly forgotten for some time, the Pinto seems to be enjoyed success as an amateur-level vintage racing car, owing to its light weight, rear-wheel drive (RWD) layout, willing and durable Ford of Europe engines, and good car and parts availability.
