"I just bought a 1987 ranger with a 150hp v6. At first it ran good. It started loosing power and wasn't running good. I pulled the plugs and found water in #6 cylinder. I noticed a few exhaust plate bolts were loose. I took it back to the dealer and told him what I found. He has replaced the head gasket and is now replacing the exhaust plate gasket. Could water get into the cylinder if it was a bad exhaust plate gasket?
They did tell me after they replaced the head gasket, compression was at 105 in all cylinders. I just want to make sure I'm not going to get hosed.
Thanks in advance"
