Are the ford 2.3l and the mazda 4 cylinder the same? My engine is getting a little tired along with the rest of the truck and I'm looking for build or rebuild options?:icon_confused: Does anyone know the actual compression of a healthy 2.3l in psi (like 120psi?)

I'm wondering if you have to change all the electronics on a NA engine even if its a small amount of boost?:icon_confused: Also I had my head milled when the valves were done and now the cam timing mark seems half a tooth off, I have no top end power, so I'm shifting out of 5th alot.:annoyed: I...
