mate i beleave its the pistons somebody correct me if i am wrong! also you cant put a 1.6 transit head on a ltr hc as we found out ! it blew a piston! the otherway of looking at it if he fitts the lc engine unleaded fuel will not be a problem! pinto,s are funny engines its hard to get power out of them unless you spend big money! but you get a good one and they are great engine!

Pistons are low comp, as pinto says ripe for a bit of medium boost turbo action
