Oh indeed the early versions Pintos in Capri's and Cortina's
One of my colleagues in Clydesdale had a capri that had new spray bar, camshaft and rockers. After another camshaft failure he fitted an aftermarket rocker kit with needle rollers, it worked well but the valve gear sounded odd to say the least. He had the car for around 10 years before it succumbed to tin worm but the engine lasted fine after the modification.
