SOURCE: bent valves 2000 Ford Escort ZX2
a couple bent valves shouldnt be more then a few hundred dollars to have replacedand can be fixed yes, but also the vehicle has to have another timing chain ooput on and be retimed this will probably be a total cost of somewhere in the $800 dollar range (this is only an estimate!!) to replace your entire engine would cost substantially more and in all realit i would try to sell the opother vehicle for parts, trade in, or as a whole and buy another vehicle before i invested the money into a new engine for this particular car
SOURCE: Need to know if I can adjust the valves on 86 Ford Escort
Nope! The rockers held down by posts that are a precise thickness and are bolted to the head. If you have noise you need to repair/replace your lifters.

Adjust with engine cold.
Standard camshaft:
Inlet : 0.2mm (0.008")
Exhaust 0.25mm (0.010")
Loosen bottom lock-nut. Adjust with top nut. Fasten locknut and check. The clearance will be slightly too tight. Loosen bottom again, adjust and re-tighten till you get it right.

This is a non-interference engine. Anyone saying anything different is using an old book. Some Ford dealers might even tell you it is interference. There are reliefs cut into the top of the pistons to clear the valves if the belt breaks. There is a how-to posted here and on Team ZX2 .com
