I have a 2006 ranger sport with a 3.0 that I bought after it was wrecked. The truck has 58,000 miles on it and has low compression on one bank. I tore the heads off the truck last night and found that the side that has low compression had the exhaust valves recessed, I heard that this is common for these engines but I could not believe that it could happen with under 60,000 miles on the truck. When the truck ran before I tore it down it idled poorly and through lean and misfire codes for the side of the engine that the valves appeared to be recessed so my question is how common is this with such low miles and what causes this? The kid that had the truck before me I don’t think was too easy on the thing but still.
