Yes the engine might have overheat, mine did pretty bad they all do once the pump gives up
by the time you notice the temp gage It's already
done.

I'm going to get a compression check on all cylinders somewhere else.

I'm schedule again at the dealer.

The engine doesn't take it's gaz, smells gaz, ping's heavy on acceleration and misfires at WOT.

I have some serious douts about the engine now

I will see soon.

Both in April Ford Countour SE
5MTX 1996/27kilo.
I intend to by a set of MSDS headers with some good low rumbling tone like at South County Motor. I having the upper intake extruded &honed. Change TB with SVT.
By a Pro-Flow 75 maf. Diablo chip on Top. IF and only if I'm happy with the results. A Quaifle T/b diff. IF my Girlfriend can still stand my driving (she does not drive) a New Radiator (the one that pushes 11 PSI into the intake manifold) I think that this engine would be proud to put 300hp on the asphalt.
