I don't think the number 2 cylinder has good compression due to overheating.
It is rather the other 5 cylinders that have badcompression due to overheating.
Both cylinder heads have to be re-surfaced after checking for any cracks/compression leaks.
Re-do the valve seating.
New gaskets, valve stem seals, antifreeze etc. and after a certain mileage, a re-tightening of the cylinderhead bolts.
Also, fix the original problem, which may be a leak in the cooling system.

How do you fix the number 1 cylinder on a 1982 Chevy S-10 if it is not firing?
Check the compression on the cylinder that's not firing. If you have little or no compression on that cylinder, you need a valve job and depending on the total miles on the engine, you may need a complete engine reuild or replacement. If compression is up, replace sparkplugs, wires and distributor cap and rotor if it has a distributor. GM has been going without a distributor on many engines but probably not an 82 S10.

What is the cylinder compression for 2.0 engine?
There is no real compression spec for the 2.0 zetec engine. Ford only says that no cylinder should be below 25% or all the cylinders. If it is that cylinder is down. That could be a number of problems such as head gasket or bad rings. Either way. Once you do a compression test yourself I would recommend having a dealership follow it up with a diagnostic. They will be able to give you solutions if there is low compression as far as possible reasons and repairs. Per. ALLDATA Ford NTI/ UTI student
