205 Pinto Rods!


ESKIN8R

Recommended Posts

Hey guys

Can anyone shed some light on 205 Block sierra Rods

It was my understanding that the 205 blocks had the thicker, slightly stronger rods

Now Ive pulled apart two 205 Block motors and both had what I underdstand as cortina rods!!!!

Acording to this article they should have the rods pictured on the right

But both sets of mine are the left pic.

Any one have any clues? Pulled any pinto blocks apart?

Even beter can someone sell me a set?

Interesting thread never noticed difference in conrods, in saying that iv only ever had 205's :lol:

Iv got two good 205 engines in bits, got one of the rods infront of me thats deff same as the one on the right and keen for money towards my car PM me offer :mrgreen: otherwise i should probably put them on tardme to make some space.

One of the twoO5's was rebuild and used for only a couple speedway meetings and looked mint last time i looked at it.

Ok I have worked out the differance in 205 engines

The early as sierras had normal cortina blocks with 20 on the side

Later ones had 205 cast in large letters on the side, and the latest ones ( with the stronger rods ) have 205 cast in small letters
