Right there with ya fellas lol. If only they werent so damm good when running.

3sc0rt, it sounds entirely possible that your mechanic sux. I would suggest always go with tests, not guesses. EG compression test, ignition lead test, etc.

Best of luck with your diagnosis.. Say, is that points ignition I see there? I would be looking seriously at that subsystem.... Nothing has given me more trouble on a pinto than the ignition. I recently spent a week of spare time, replacing everything on the RS ignition system, only to find a set of perfectly good looking points were the problem. So yeah make sure its working properly.. And consider upgrade to electronic ignition as a good option.

Not that its of any use to you now... but fwiw, if you did the headgasket between 1&2, you would really really know about it. Damm awful noise, and top speed of 70Kph limping.

Yeah Thanks Vanman
The Noise was consistant from - 100KM so i'll check out what you said and see what's going on, at one stage i was really considering the electronic ignition but i dont know how much fidling around and how much costing it is..? How much am i Looking at and how much fidling around? [88]

electronic ignition, i picked up for 170, for a crane cams one, think they sell at speed shops for 190 or so from memory, as for fiddling around suprisingly little, any compotent person can do it, onli problem i had was my dizzy didn't have any writing on it to suggest what brand it was so i coodnt follow the intructions to find the right shutter, but with a bit of trial and error all worked first shot, sorry for the essay, hope it helps though

Well i Guess it's another thing ill have to add to the list.
Plus i need a new starter motor keeep screaming and screeching at me... then yeah dump the cossie in hahahaha Sounds easy doesnt it?

Anyways The head going on tomorrow or Friday depends and i spent a nice big $1200 on the head and got it all at family rates, good having a mechinist in the family lol and its suposeably worked to hell... Ported Polished Shaved Spring, Valves, Stage 4 Cam. you would think it would go after spending that moneys on it. Anyways im sure ill have another problem when that goes back on... there always is with my escort... you fix one thing 2 more break.

Yay i have the head back, was supose to have it on Friday and also put on but my cousin is a lazy mofo and didn't pick it up due to him going to the pub and forgetting to grab it. Anyways he has just dropped it off to me now. If all goes well i'll have it back in on the weekend.

Heres come pics.... Ooooo Ahhhh
