Robcat,

Head problems seem to be common on these older Escorts. Take the head to a good machine shop & let them look it over. They will be able to tell you if it is repairable, or if it needs to be replaced. There are a lot of cheap, rebuilt heads out there. I would rather have one that a good machine shop has gone through, than a cheap rebuild.

Good Luck
