compression

I recently bought a 2014 Explorer Sport (3.5 Ecoboost) (140k miles) notably discounted with engine problems. Actually could not get it to start and compression check shows 2/3 front cylinders have no compression. Lead suspicion is blown head gasket, but no signs of that in the oil and I don't...

A friend gave me their truck after it's been sitting for a year. I did some inspection on it and it looked ok. It started right up so I shut it down immediately. Then I started inspecting the fluids and found the coolant had leaked into the oil and had been completely emulsified into a nice...

Just to give you all some background info I'll tell the story that lead to this dead cylinder in my explorer. It's a 97 XLT with the 302 v8 and all wheel drive. My radiator started leaking coolant early last month, suspiciously a couple days after getting some recall work done by the ford...

I've been trying to diagnose this problem for a little bit now and I want to see if anyone has an opinion out there. I'm pretty new to car repair. I'm going to get in there this weekend I just want to have it kind of nailed down before I get there. I know I have a misfire on cylinders 5 and 6...
