right starter motor is fooked on my work hack, its a 2.0ltr ghia auto on a G plate, i,ve removed the old one, and when i rang the scrappers, they asked is it cvh or pinto, so i presumed it was the pinto type, anyways got it home and its not the same size, but surely its not the cvh type?? someone help!! and i know i should of took the old one down

also is the cvh type starter motor for the DOHC engine which mine is??
need get it sorted this weekend!!!!

cheers in advance

 

On a G reg, it's almost defo a pinto, the CVH didn't come in 2L size so it's not that.
How wide is the rocker cover on your sierra, is it flat about 10" to a foot wide, if so it's DOHC, the pinto cover is much narrower about 6-7" and rounded/ish over the top.
Did you tell them it was a AUTOMATIC ?, as the starters are normally specific to auto or manual, certainly on the pinto a manual starter will not work on a auto, the nose of the starter is a different depth, due to the teeth on the flex plate of the auto being a lot closer to the engine than the flywheel teeth of the manual box.

cheers for the info no i didn't mention that it was a auto, when i have put the two together, the pinto one is larger than the one i have removed from the car. the car is defo a DOHC. so what iam i asking for a... "pinto auto starter motor for a G plate saph"?? really appreciate the help cheers again

 

You need a AUTO starter for a DOHC, forget pinto, it doesn't come into it, I've had many ford auto's over the years and always found the starters were different.
What is actually wrong with your starter anyway ?, they are dead simple to fix, normally only needing brushes, I've even cut down washing machine carbon brushes before and used these in starters, it's easy to over haul one.
