Well the 6.0L is still to this day an issue! Still doing warranty repairs to this day. This sounds like a typical egr cooler that has fractured and leaked coolant into the intake ports causing a hydro-lock condition. It's basically water/coolant in the cyl, and you can't compress water so it feels like its locked up. We haven't had too many issues with seizing engines for no apparent reason so other then a major internal engine failure i'd lean more towards the hydro-lock condition. In some cases you can keep tapping the engine over and try and push the water past the rings or out the valves until alot of the water is out and the engine turns faster. NOTE: Don't attempt this first method too much because you can bend a connecting rod if it spins fast and then locks up. If too much has gotten into the cyl then the last resort is to remove 4 glow plugs and crank until all the water is pushed out (makes a mess) reinstal the 4 glow plugs and see if it will turn over fast enough. If not, remove the other 4 and do the same thing. Oh ya drain the rest of the coolant so it doesn't happen again and again. With the cyl clear of the water it should turn over faster and start and smoke real bad due to all the coolant in the intake, turbo, exhaust, etc. So the main issue is a restricted oil cooler so when replacing the egr cooler make sure you put a new oil cooler element in as well or its just gonna happen again. It gets plugged restricts flow to the egr cooler and the exhaust gas heat with no or lack of coolant cracks the coolers internally. So make sure to replace the oil cooler element as well! Seen this alot and repaired alot over the years so pretty common.

Can these Ford Escort Diesels be turbocharged?

It is unknown whether or not this engine can be turbocharged. But we'd love to see someone try it and share their results! If you have Japanese connections, you might want to investigate the Mazda-made direct-injection turbo version of this engine, offered in the 1999 Mazda Capella (Mazda's Japanese-market midsize family car). That engine is the same basic design as ours, and might fit in our cars. The 1753 cc IDI diesel(60 bhp) which was used in the older generation Escorts were later upgraded to Di turbo(90 bhp). The Di turbo diesel had premature wear on con-rod bearings compared to IDI diesel. One can try to give mild boost to IDI diesel by adding a small waste gate turbo. I say small turbo, smaller the turbo-earlier it kicks-in. This will improve its initial response by a great deal and also prevents from the con-rod bearing failure.
