One thing that pissing me off is that i cant get one of the fuel lines off. Ive got the tool but it looks like its not releasing the spring inside. Any other way of getting it off? Trying to get the intake plenum off so i can clean it.

Patience, they work well upon reinstall, but getting them lose is another story.

insert release tool, try to twist the fittings while separating them. Also a little wd40 or other lube on the orings helps when reconnecting

Ive Tried, It looks like the tool doesn't even go inside the spring like its suppose too. Like the lip looks to big on the tool. I got the OEM set from autozone. lol.

There are 2 different fuel line sizes also, I've got a cheap plastic set for home (pain in the ass but rarely used) and a snap on set for work

I think I have one I'd let go for $50. I won't be able to get it until Monday afternoon though. It came off of a running 2.5 motor from a '00 Ranger.

Will not work. The 2.5 is an evolved 2.3 and the head is not the same. You could make it work but you will need to swap the intake and a few other items.

Oh well damn! Anyways we put it all back together and turns out theres still a miss in it. Did a compression test on 2 and its at like 45% and number 3 was at like 70%. IT also sounds like it has a tad bit of bottom end noise. But can barely hear. So Im in search of possibly a motor of just head..

He needs to find the exact build date, because sometime between '94 and '95 Ford switched to the late head design that was used on all 2.3 and 2.5 engines from '94/'95 until 2003.
