As some know, I've had endless problems with my escort. I'm now rebuilding another engine for it. I've stripped the bottom end and checked / had everything checked and refitted with new shells, oil pump and gaskets. I've bought a ported + polished head with a piper cam, again I've stripped and cleaned it and rebuilt it with new seals and gaskets. I've used a good H/G and new head bolts and new timing belt. Hopefully I've done everything I can to make this as reliable as possible as I can't afford to spend anything else on it! The turbo has only done a hand full of miles since I bought it. This is it's last chance to be a reliable car as I've already spent a fortune on it and I paid too much in the 1st place for it It only gets used on a weekend as it's a second car.
