Ok follow me on this. Got a friend who brought me his 2000 rannger 2.5. Said the first motor blew a head gasket and cylinder 4 was dead. Coolant in the oil total milkshake so he scrapped it. So he buys a JY 2.5 and throws it in and shortly after cylinder 4 is dead. 50psi on compression test. Leakdown test is blowing air out of the crankcase not the intake or exhaust.
It did run and codes show 303 and 304 misfire. 8 plug engine, not connected by a single coil.
Put a borescope down and saw nothing catastrophic in #3 or #4. Intake is full of oil, pcv line is dripping oil though.
Before I go through with ripping the head off, any ideas?
What would you do here? I'm ready to pull the head... but seems fishy both died on cylinder 4.
