After some time going around, store after store, asking prices for new parts (tight budget…), I finally found the “right” price at a nearby shop… Only after a fair bit of problems like I couldn’t get an oil pump ANYWHERE in this country (ford, parallel market, whatever…), and mixed head gasket set’s.
New 0.29mm oversize pistons, gudgeon pins and rings
0.5mm conrod big end bearings
0.75mm crank bearings (the limit!!!)
Another crank bearing
Much needed new water pump
Normally when you ask, in a common shop, for head bolts they sell ford’s spec special stretch bolts. I got 10.9 strength common bolts… They are not designed to stretch at all, and are a bit on the heavy duty side… NICE!!!
Some other important parts for a reconstrution, oil filter, oil pressure sensor and thermostatic water valve…

Excellent Job!
A true work of an artist… handpicked parts plus the will and knowledge, can and will make the Escort an astonishing piece of Art!
