2011 5.0. Compression check ?

[Strengthrehab]

Whats the procedure for this on the new 5.0?

Going to mustangweek and want to ensure engine will be fine. Plus car has 51k miles on it. Previous owner was woman. All stock. Never know though.

Plus I wanna ensure things are good before I spring for an aed tune

Previous owner was woman.

May I ask what that has to do with anything?

Seriously.....why are you considering doing a compression test on a non beat 50k mile car?

 

[Strengthrehab]

Because I bought it off of a lot. Tuner suggested it.

That actually made me chuckle a bit.

Been years since I came across an all-stock woman.

To the OE. Pay no mind to 07tggt, the self appointed "Nube Killer". As his picture would suggest he has a little man complex which is really a personality disorder. He reflexively insults people. He has no life. Pity him.

This is what I did. Made certain battery was fully charged and engine was cool. Turned on the car. Pulled fuel pump fuse. Unplugged all 8 coil pack connections. Unbolted all 8 coil packs. Took out all 8 spark plugs. Screwed compression tester into spark plug hole and cranked the engine a few revolutions until the gauge stopped moving.

Is a quart in 4k miles bad oil loss. Quart put it jusr above bittom hole on ddipstick.

Seems like a lot for a 50k mile car.

 

[Strengthrehab]

Ugh. Looks like im calling my dealer to check it out and run a compression test. Ugh.

Burning oil is normal.

One quart between oil changes is no big deal. Just check your fluids and your battery cables for corrosion and tight. before u go

 

[Strengthrehab]

Oh. Ok. New to this motor. Thanks all.
