The powertrain was only fitted to this version of the Escort, a longitudinally mounted Cosworth YBT, a highly tunable turbocharged 2.0 L (1,993 cc) with a bore x stroke of 90.8 mm × 77 mm (3.57 in × 3.03 in) Inline-four engine[1][2] which had an output of 227 PS (167 kW; 224 bhp) in standard trim.

    I can't get over how professional your videos have become. You've done away with that irritating background music and gone straight in with close ups of the work being done. Detailed filming showing your work, good points, mistakes, things to look out for. These videos are good ... VERY good!

    Before you pull the head off I would check the water jacket parts of the inlet manifold, I used to be a technician @ Ford in the late eighties/early nineties and had quite a few vehicles where the antifreeze had solidified from having too strong a mix and blocked the chambers to the cylinder head from the inlet manifold causing the same sort of fault.

    I used these kits which detects exhaust in the coolant, with a blue fluid. Worked for me to find a leaking head gasket, less fun that the engine block wasnt flat enough to keep boost in there. Hopefully it works now though:)

    Awesome work Adam, late to the party but was saying to the TV check the turbo lines as they suffer the worst metal electrolysis corrosion ever, first time I saw it in person was my 97 Z32 300zx twin turbo engine rebuilding it. However I dig your passion and feel for it, I am reliving my cosworth/max power days vicariously through your videos. Cheers Mate.

    its never just that, if that had enough gunk in it to be blocked there is plenty of crap in the rest of the system. it needs a full clean/flush. Use somthing like holts rad flush. The cooling section of the turbo will be partially blocked, you dont want to kill the turbo next.

    The cutting out issue…..I heard of similar on I believe a Sierra XR4i. Someone had plugged a relay intended for heated rear window into the fuel pump relay position. Hence after so many minutes the car would cut out as the relay timed out. Worth a check if not done already. Thanks for the videos 👍👍

  • @rexim3530

    For the cutting out issue. Open the fuse box and feel for hot relays, most likely fuel pump and then check fuel pump for issues/blockages. Keep up the great work!

      Fuel pump relays on Fords were a problem, looking fine, but opening it up you could see the broken trace and burnt board, having said that I'll bet almost every electrical connection will be corroded to some extent, electrical contact cleaner and checking for broken wires,

Ended up being that the relay had gone before and he grabbed a spare knocking about. This ended up being a timed heated window relay !
