i don't think the SOHC one is interchangeable... what kind of mods are you running...if you aren't running anything too crazy i would highly recommend the organic clutch disc. that 6-puck clutch is going to chatter (from what i've heard), and the take off won't be smooth. i have a BPT GTX and i have...

yea just giving the wheel a good shake should make it clunk since it is happening all the time. at least then you will know which corner it is coming from.

i had a clunking during hard right turns, it turned out to be a bad driver's rear strut.

put your front up on jack stands, pull/push on the top and bottom of the wheel, also try pulling and pushing on the sides of the wheel. while the car is up, look at your coil springs and make sure they are not broken. another possibility is your CV joints. what does the noise sound like when you tur...

i don't think that's what your problem is... i'd make sure you KNOW what the problem is before throwing any more money into your car.

Additionally, all of Brembo's slotted discs are directional as well, regardless of the vane geometry. The discs should be installed such that the end of the slot nearest the outer edge of the disc contacts the pad first. Please see figure According to that, your front rotors are switched around...y...

yea looks like the valve cover gasket...it will probably take you like 30-45 minutes to change it if you do it yourself (which i highly suggest, a mechanic will rip you off). since you have the SOHC engine it will probably even take you less time than that.

i don't think they made escort gt's past 1995, they switched to the escort ZX2 i believe.

i'm sure someone knows the block #s if you want to double check though.
