I did the compression test today on my 2.3L 92 ranger. 360,000KM
180 - 60 - 60 - 90
So... I have to start looking at options. I have looked at the forums and have figured that I can get buy with a top end rebuild. I don't want more HP/forged internals/turbo.
The body & frame are in decent enough shape that this is worth while.
So a few questions:
1. what 4cylinder engines can I drag and drop (relatively easy) into my 1992 ranger ext cab?
2. how hard is a top end rebuild? (1-10) 1 being oil change.
I have changed my intake manifold on my dodge dakota and done the valve cover gasket on my ranger as reference points.
3. Any ADVICE, TIPS, WARNINGS?
