    I rebuilt one 2 litre Pinto engine from two engines many moons ago for my old Mk1 Escort. Had it bored out, high lift cam, polished & ported head, twin 40 webers the works. Fitted it & it wouldnt turn over.
    Cut a long story short i had mixed the crank bearings caps from one engine with the other. But i didnt make that mistake again! Lol :rolleyes:

    God man you were really lucky you didn't do far more damage, you could have smashed a valve, broken a conrod anything!

    What does the head look like? much damage?
