Re: 97 Escort 2.0 P1443 Code
If your cylinder walls are fine, you should be able to replace the pistons as necessary and keep the same block.
The discrepancy in cylinder readings is likely due to the bad valce on the #4. Though the other piston is damaged, it still manages to maintain compression. On the #4 your valve is likely damaged so that there is no compression. Anyway... look in to replacing pistons and getting the head redone. It is surely the cheaper way to go. If you have the means to do this on your own, even better.

Re: 97 Escort 2.0 P1443 Code
Ok, I have the block at a machine shop being redone, they are going to install new pistons rings and all bearings. I took the cylinder head to a shop and they are telling me it is cracked so now I need a new head (these are tough to find) I was wondering if I could install a DOHC head from the 2.0 since these are easier to find. Does anyone know if the blocks are the same on the SOHC and DOHC 2.0 escort engines?

Re: 97 Escort 2.0 P1443 Code
Changing the tranny involves quit a bit, including a different PCM and various sensors.
I took a quick look on Google and found a few companies that have rebuilt heads... looks to cost around $300 or so. I was surprised ebay didn't have any, but sometimes you just have to type in the right thing to get them to turn up.

Re: 97 Escort 2.0 P1443 Code
"Dover" is the only place I would consider for a cyl head repair. They have done several for me, even cracked ones, and I have never been disappointed in their work or price. They have several locations throughout the Southeast.
