632 Engine Parts

[RWC]

New member here. I recently purchased a 632 that runs decent, but smokes on startup. Figuring rings and valve seals are in order at the very least. Can someone share a source for engine parts for the Ford 1.6? Would like to have some idea of availability before I take it apart. Thanks in advance!

You have a Ford 1.6 "Kent" motor and it was also used in the 1979 Ford fiesta, 1971/1972 Ford pinto and 1971 Mercury Capri. I buy most of the parts for my 642 bobcat from rock auto. Some items, such as water pump and alternator are different, but internals are the same. Get the parts manual, as it is also helpful for sourcing parts.

Hope this helps...

Pinto gaskets won't work. It is an overhead cam motor.

I got the parts I needed for my KSG416 from Jensales. The link craigb93 posted is exactly the stuff you'll need. There's also rings and pistons for sale there separately, right up to complete overhaul kits. You just need to make sure you get the correct dimensions if your engine has been bored out before.

I got the engine apart last night, it needs one piston and all rings. Unfortunately, Rock Auto has nothing available for a Fiesta or Pinto. Looks like Jensales is my only option. Thanks again to all the replies!

Jensales were absolutely awesome, great service and fast delivery. Can't go wrong with them in my experience.

IF you didn't cut the ridge/ carbon out of the bores before pushing the pistons out you may have ring land damage and unfortunately be in the market for 4-pistions instead of one. My apology for not bringing that up sooner.
To do a good job the cylinder bores need to be straightened up with a good medium grit hone and mineral spirits. Something like a Sunnen or Lysle hone. Finish with a light cross-hatch pattern.
Pull the crank and clean the block with HOT soapy water. If you find any residue traces scrub it again. The original bearings if undamaged will be better than anything available new and can be re-used.

Lube the wrist pins with STP and only lightly oil the rings.
Off to the races.

Thanks, I did ream the ridge before I popped out the pistons. Bearings are all good. Thanks for the advice!
