looking to buy a escort that has a ticking sound when it running?
I heard it run and im think about buying it but im wonder if the ticking sound had to do with a bad rod or if it has to do with the timing in the car.The person selling it think it a rod because it lost power and runs like it has since it was parked.

Charles:  Prob not a rod but a valve. Don't buy it if you can't fix it yourself and then pay less then $200.
