1.9 to 2.0 Escort heads

[wolfe]

Was wandering if anyone has tryed to put a 2.0 head on a 1.9 MOTOR. Ive heard all about the #4 intake seat droping out & making a mess, & have experiance with 2 different cars that dropped myself. I had them fixed & then #3 dropped out 8 months later on my 94 !! And #1 seat was the one one my 93...What a drag !! Whats the deal with the 91 -96 heads anyway?? Bad metal? Bad seats?? Well... Id rather put the 2.0 head on since I havent heard any bad news about them. I have two 97s and im prayen that they hold up!!

Since the 1.9 uses dished pistons and the 2.0 uses pop top, your compression ratio will be very low if you used a 2.0 head with 1.9 block.
Usally the valve seat's will drop if the head is overheated, it does'nt matter what head you use, if your having a cooling problem your motor wont like it.
