  • Such a depressingly crap car should not have had such an awesome commercial to sell it!

  • Worked on an 86 escort. Pulled the oil drain plug. At least 2 liters of antifreeze came out before the oil. Planed the head put it back on and it kept goin for A long time.

  • They are called torque to yield bolts most vehicles are this way now

  • Not really - those [sub]compact Fords are smaller than the midsize Celebrity (which had a standard fuel-injected I4 and had offered a diesel as well). Ford introduced the new Vulcan V6 for the model year after this ad, so they were working on six-cylinder engines too.

  • This is true. My old man's five-speed '89 Escort wagon lasted to about 280,000mi when he traded it in. Still went well, didn't leak, didn't smoke, and still got over 30mpg on the highway. Went through three timing belts, one clutch, two front wheel bearings, a pair of CV axles... and that was it! Everything else was as-shipped from Ford.

    I'd like to have one again. Good little grocery-getter.

  • That was the case with many engines, and just about every single modern engine made today; these engines use torque to yield head bolts, which are designed to stretch when you torque them down to specifications.

    You can only torque them up once. If you undo the bolt after torquing it one time, you have to replace it.

    You can't use that as a reason for explaining why the first run of Ford 1.9L engines were not good.

  • same one thats in my celebrity i have never sean it any where till now sweet

  • The first 1.9s in the escorts were crap ..... If you had to do a head job or head gasket on one and did'nt replace the head bolts , it would blow the head again just about as quick as you crank it .

  • Thats awesome!!! Ford's 1.9 in the Escort was not efficent or well designed, and the diesels back in the day were quite badly rated and unreliable as I recall

  • ya your right cars today are bland and boring these old 80s cars were the greatest
