my ranger is having surgery : (
So i had to take my truck to a mechanic the other day due to my truck misfiring and today i got the worst news ever. He has to pull off the heads and start rippin apart my motor because my pistons are hitting my spark plugs. :Maybe I should put some high compression piston in that bad boy while its already taken apart

well first the mechanic is a family friend i so i dont think he is scrwein me. second its under warranty so i aint payin anything.. He didnt say it was for sure the pistion was hitting the spark plug but that was the most logic idea so far.. He was gonna take off the heads and look into the cylinder to see whats up.. How else would my spark plug be getting bent so bad? He showed me two spark plugs that were bent. the first one in cylinder two was pretty mashed it was bent down and got all tweaked out to the side. the other spark plug in cylinder three was just bent down.. What made me take it in was first i got a CEL for a mis-fire in cylinder two. and second you could hear a sort of ticking sound coming right from the spark plug. He is gonna give me a call tomorrow and tell me what is goin on so ill keep you guys updated

There was a recall on the first couple years it was in the explorer, but when they put it in the ranger, no recall. Mine started to rattle, ching, or whatever RIGHT after the warranty lapsed. Does it off an on. I don't care. I'm at 90k now, starting making noise at 34k. No problems.
Anybody know what happens when i goes "good bye bye"?? The chain or belt or whatever is in there.

The chain will skip a tooth or two and the pistons will hit the valves. So basically when your engine sounds like it's making popcorn get the credit card out.
