can anyone give me the spec for the standard rs2000 camshaft fitted in the pinto engine.Valve clearances and timing settings would be very useful.

thanks

steve

Standard clearances of all Ford cams in the pinto as far as I know are 0.2mm on the inlet and 0.25mm of the outlet.

Alot of the more manly aftermarket cams use the same clearances. The milder ones tend of have slightly larger clearances.

Your call, but I reckon you'd be fairly safe with 0.2/0.25

As per Haynes for RS2000

lift 6.3323 mm (0.2494 inches)
inlet opens 24 degrees BTDC
inlet closes 64 degrees ATDC
exh opens 70 degrees BBDC
exh closes 18 degrees ATDC

missed clearances from post
inlet 8 thou .020 mm
exh 10 thou .025 mm

thanks guys
