Well...this sucks

[Funnyman141]

1995 ranger 4.0 4x4

I just did a compression check trying to find the constant miss it has well... here it is

cyl.1-125
cyl.2-125
cyl.3-115
cyl.4-115
cyl.5-0
cyl.6-113

the plug also is covered with oil, gee I'm guessing the piston.
would there be any other reasons for no compression? like the pushrods have worn down so far they are not hitting the rocker arms or am I being optimistic?

thanks for the opinions

also ths is the second fricken motor I have with a dead cylinder

 

[Funnyman141]

anybody?

 

[countryboy]

sorry but sounds to me like u need a donor or a rebuild

 

[Funnyman141]

well on the next day off I'm going to pull off the valve cover and pray its something simple, otherwise I'm going back to my 9 mpg, gross polluter, no power, barely running 87.
that fricken truck just doesn't want to die.

 

[Heavyfire14]

she would prolly like a rebuild anyways. how many miles does she got?

 

[Funnyman141]

124,000 or 224,000 judging by the way it runs 224,000 but the interior and body makes me think only 124,000 so i don't know for sure

 

[Heavyfire14]

hmmm... well taken care of body? how do you not know if its 1k or 2k?

 

[Funnyman141]

I only have the five digit counter excluding the 1/10 mile counter, also the last time the mileage was checked (on the title) it said 93,000 miles but that was 2003 so

 

[nine-teen91stxranger]

maybe 302 swap time?

 

[Funnyman141]

I would if it wasn't my dd while I try and get the turbo motor built for the 87 lol

 

[Heavyfire14]

that suks mann. o well new project?

 

[Funnyman141]

I'll probably drive it as is until I get the turbo ranger done then I'll switch projects, I have two projects going anyway, and only one spot to work on them, and my 78 F-150 is in that spot lol

 

[Heavyfire14]

dang, have fun. you should start a build thread

 

[Funnyman141]

lol I will when I get the tools (and welder) to start fixing her up

 

[Heavyfire14]
