So I bought a 1987 2.9l V6 Ford ranger XLT from an auction last year and I found it to be a little bitty of a piece of junk before diagnosis. It had a major knock which I had found to be a lofter rod that fell out of place and almost sliding down to the oil pan. After fixing that I did a compression test on all six cylinders and found all of them to be 60 psi. Is this normal or is this an engine ready to be overhauled or take. To the scrap yard?
