I suggest checking the valve cover seal and the oil pan seal. If you don´t see any leaks, then it´s probably the rings on the pistons that have gone bad.
To break down the engine is a huge job. Tons of money, I´d assume. I had a friend who did an engine rebuild on a ford bronco and they dropped 3,000 smackers for it.
I´m planning on rebuilding my 91 GT engine (the 1.8L mazda BP engine) maybe this summer, and I was told by pimp escort 98 that the best thing to do is to buy the ford escort shop manual and do it at home or something. I want to learn more about the engine, and even though it´s probably going to take me a month or something to do, the experience and increase of longevity of my car will be well worth it.
