thanks evryone for the responses, haven't gotten to dig into it too far cause of work.
Have my buddy, the ford mechanic comin' over after work n gonna check it out, he's pretty good he won ford's troubleshooting competition about 3 years ago...
i have a gut feeling it has to do with the timing, somethin' along those lines...
will let y'all know what we come up with.... thanks again

sorry haven't gotten back in abit but been sick and my laptop crashed too... doin' this from my PS3,
my well, after acompression check with a ford computer, which is a comparative reading,
cyl 1 4% loss
cyl 2 21% loss
cyl 3 21% loss
cyl 4 has 20% loss
with the 5.4 being an interference engine, i'd think it skipped time n bent a few valves...
what do y'all think?

just spoke w/ ron from fox lake, it's lookin' like it'll be a lil pricey to fix 'er...
need to pull the engine n take it up to them n they'll work from there...
looks like i have my work cut out for me
was thinkin' bout rebuildin' it myself but it bein' a modular n extra complicated i'm a lil weary of that
