So if i get this cam it's going to give me some more push from GO? Thats all it's lacking at the moment, so whatever will fix that im all for it.

Thats a sweet escort you have there, a real sleeper. I like, I like, I like.

Broken Head Gasket FFS, Mechanic thinks to get it totally redone and new with warranty, it will cost me around $1000, is that right.. freak me dead thats alot of money. What other ways do i have to get around this.

Did it get hot ? Other ways to get around it is to sell the car to me for fifty bucks ;)

Hmmmm, $50 I'll consider. Lol

Nah i have no idea how it freaked up, it wasn't too hot all is that after i put the 45's on the gfasket blew about a week later... mechanic said expect $800 - 1000 but im hoping i can get it cheaper

he has to mechine the head. and replace all the other poo poo. Gaskets Etc. It's bullpoo poo what i have to fix on this car

It comes with the cars man, you flog them you break them

Thats around the going rate for a head job but if you can do it yourself or know someone else that can you'd be suprised how much cheaper you can do it. Most of that money is paying for labour of the mechanic, then paying for a cylinder head joint to test head for cracking/warping etc and a re-face.

That price is outrageous, take the head off yourself, take it to a cylinder head shop get it checked out, buy a new head gasket bolt the head back on and away you go. the mechanic is charging massive amounts of labour for very little work.
if the head needs a full reco you may aswell put all the unleaded gear in it at the same time. it shouldnt cost any more than $500.
the last head that i had reco'd cost $350.
stop paying for labour.
thats what is costing you.

Yeah its all good. got some hook ups gunna get the head shaved and port polish $600 with all the gaskets n stuff aswell.
