ok so i got the used engine in the truck it went into a 88 ranger the motor is a 2.9 out of a 90 ranger. Fire it up and it runs ok for a few minutes but has a very high idle so i shut it off and check the dipstick low on oil. Pull the oil cap off the valve cover milky white inside the valve cover. Pull out the compression tester got around 155 in all cylinders except #1 got 65. What do you guys think?? i could see it being a head gasket but if it was a head gasket why would my oil be low because the coolant would be leaking past the rings into the oil?? Hope i am on the right track im thinking head gasket/cracked head possibly. I plan on tearing into it tommorow so any help in advance is appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff
