I had to replace the timing belt on the 98 ranger due to brakage and now the engine will not start. it has a 2-5 with 215k on it.
I 've line up the crank at tdc and place the oil pump and cam sprokets with the diamond timing marks at 12 O'clock ( dimples at 3 O'clock). I have fuel and sparks but, still will not start. Just turns over and pop. Like it's out of timing. I've sprayed starting fluid and it still would not start. I checked compression and cold it's #1@115 #2@150 #3@135 #4@145. I have pump oil in the #1 cylinder and compression goes up to 150 so I have worn rings. The engine ran fine before the belt broke so compression should not be the problem. I have check on this site and I have found someone with similar problem but with no fix. Can anyone Help!
