Oh sorry. Though the way i got it explained
It mean it was, and no the 6th cylinder is way off in compression. I really dont know when did this really begin, was the car running bad but not enough to notice and now it getting worst..seems like!

Maybe the previous owner knew he had trouble on their hands and sold it because of it...
Oh well, time to start fresh, don't sweat it. Either buy a forged assembly for the new block or buy a coyote. This time around, you'll be starting fresh and you'll know what's going into the car. Get it tuned right and you'll be running strong!!

it just hard to repeat the story everytime for those who read off-topic sometime.
quick story:
my uncle sell mustangs and big recreatif vehicule for explorationcamping.
the guy who had this mustang also had: one sick blacked out old school draging mustang and one of those big VR for camping. He was getting divorced and needed to sell all his stuff asap before his wifes get the money
this car i have wasnt any close looking from what it is right now, all silver, no spoiler, lambo door, spinners chrome rims, he asked my uncle if he wanted it, how much he'd give, so he say no f'ckn way, not interrested, finally guy was so in a rush he say low ball me i dont care, he paid ''x'' (no idea) for the drag racing car, the recreative truck and the stang, he said keep thoses ugly rims, he removed lambo door, guy on delivery didnt clip the hood correctly so he ran on the high way and smashed the hood in the windshield, scrapped paint windshield hood etc, dropped his price 2k less on the delivery lol and so in the winter my uncle re-painted the car, stripped and putted the cervini body kit, removed lambo door and throwed thoses nice rims i got on,
now from the previous owner saying:
the block was geared with a turbo on another race car, it didnt work like he wanted it, he blew a rod from the engine, so he rebuild it and forged bottom, thrown a blower instead, he kept the block and bought a low mileage v6, so here come MY CAR with his re-build ''Forged'' block,he sent the computer for a tune directly at roush in californi, the tune wasnt good once in canada, not the same air conditions, car was running bad, the swap wasnt good, guy lost patience, brang the car directly at ford so they make him the real wiring(no idea exact term in english) all the electricty wiring for the engine and computer, they made him a real gt one, final cost installed: 6k...then he re-tune 2-3 times in canada finally the car was running good dyno number something around 540....(story of previous owner)
now like i said my uncle remade the esthetique and the car was ready for sale, he made me a friendly price, i though it was a crazy deal and knowing i was backed by my uncle, i jumped on it, but the car wasnt that strong, first month i had a serpentine probleme, broke 3 serpentine, which was a custom size only made by roush, so my car was parked waiting for delivery from roush californie to canada for the serpentine(2-3 weeks delivery) we ordered 3, broke one the first day i got it, we finally found out one of the pulley was a bit inclined making the strap get loose and get teared...then know the engine seems to run like ****, no good hp, no good 1/4 time etc etc, fuel tank system, gas gauge doesnt work, we get a engine code error that is unsolve and no data on ford about a high lvl in fuel system b, and i got a freaking orange wrench popping every once in a time while cruising....uncle got tired and out of juice he said bring this damn car at the dyno for a week, he'll fix it all up, but no body though about checking compression on the engine to see before retuning, so the guy retuned the whole car that was running a weak 320 rwhp, made it back to 400, but the car exaust on cold idle was doing some serious ''pow pow '' fart until it get hot, tuner though the cams werent good and suggested me(serious newbie) that i should really remove them to get better response and appreciation of the car and even better hp, i asked over here and should have listen people saying it doesnt really affect at all, but i didnt(my mistake) finally the tuner realised it wasnt the cams, and there was leaking in the cylinder, he felt bad didnt charge my uncle the hour on the dyno BUT i ended paying the ****ing cost for the cams swap that is 500$ and not covered by my uncle cause it was MY choice to switch them. **** this is not a short story, sorry if you readed it all.
so yah my uncle sold me it, but he feeded me the same **** he got feeded, and from his test drive, car was running good. not anymore
it hard to enjoy something after all that, even if it get fixed..just would like not too lost too much on this sell, thrown 13k on it CASH....if it get fixed, id like to sell it asap, but with all that story, not sure anyone would want this car...but it does have a lots of goodies that might worth it.....fresh paint, nice body kits, 2k clutch, headers, big suspensions and a blower...
i think about this damn car every day and night, this is pretty annoying, and im really starting to get on my nerve.
gotta relax and leave this **** behind me and stop saying i shouldnt have done this or that, bad move happens, there is a end to it hopefully.. thanks for listening guys, im done with all my noobs story.
take care

You crazy Canadians! That is some history! I don't think I ever got the whole story in your other post. No telling how bad your forged motor or not forged (who really knows?) was beat on before you got it.
your orange wrench light while cruising was probably cylinder 6 misfiring. It will flash if there is a misfire.
