1993 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"Decent little car, but there are better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We blew a head gasket twice, and also we dropped a valve seat and cracked the head. Not to mention the car is rotting from the bottom up.
Presently the car has lifter noise from the new head.
General comments?
I personally think the car is not that bad car, but Ford really should have done some more thought on the cylinder head, because the cars are famous for the cylinder heads blowing up.
