Need 302 Help ASAP!!

[LEB Ben]

Well, i only check compression on the left side and a few on the other side, and there wasnt much...

Holy hell...what on earth did you do to cause that kind of failure?

I have no idea...

Oh well, maybe its time to drop a 351W in it...

Or maybe a 418???

Well I checked my timing...it's right on the money. I did a compression check, and it doesnt have any compression.

So I am now looking for a 1987-1992 Mustang 5.0 HO.

I wonder if you washed the engine with gas and toasted your rings..

 

[F 150Cobra]

Well, i only checked compression on 5 cylinders, and there wasnt much...

what is much? we need numbers!

my new engine has 180 on all cyl.. you should have about 150-180 and dont let it difference more than 20% from each other..

 

[TexasNomad]

that sounded nasty...
My engine had the same symptoms when it got fried...

 

[RedLariat85]

Or maybe a 418???

Nah, i will probablyjust stick with the 302 HO, i will just try to find a decent cam and heads for it.

 

[TexasNomad]

Go 347 ..........

Like 20...but the compression checker wasnt working the greatest. But we put it in my Grandpa's 85 F-250 with a 460...well it went to like 150 or so.

 

[RedLariat85]

460!!!

 

[TexasNomad]
