I had a compression check done within the last year. I don't remember what the psi was but the mechanic told me that all 4 cylinders were good. I remembered it mirrored what I had come up with on my own when I did it trying to diagnose a misfire. That was all taken care of after I switched all the ignition parts to Motorcraft. I've learned finally not to mess with the cheaper alternative aftermarket brands of wires and expermenting with spark plugs. Although I believe most of it was in the coils and the plugs being the smallest part of the overall misfire. That was about 30,000 miles ago and it's still running great just a mess with the oil underneath most looking like it's from the front crank seal. I talked to the shop and they said it would be right at $1000 to pull the engine replace all the gaskets, replace timing belt, and motor mounts, oil pump if I want to, go ahead and install a front transmission pump seal, and reinstall everything. They said to go ahead and get the full gasket set and they will replace every gasket except the head gasket because it may cause more problems by messing with it. They said they could do the oil pressure check but recommended doing an oil analysis if I want to find out more information on the condition of the bearings without taking the engine totally apart. So I bought a WIX oil analysis kit and I'm going to send off a sample to make sure nothing unusual in the oil.
