Anyone know (or where I can find the information) the compression ratio of the 1.9L engine in 1995 Ford Escort LX's.

I might be able to look it up in the FSM i have at home. Its for a 94, but i dont think they changed anything.

Too bad hamsters can't talk - you could just ask them.

Also, how about the spark plug gap?

ford escorts are compressed at 96 Kbp/s.

 

[Pacfanweb]

Compression ratio is 9:1.
Spark plug gap should be listed on the VECI decal under the hood, if not, Motorcraft's site says it's .044".
Likely it says .044-.052.
