What is your question?
running along on highway, car was running fine, started slowing down & just died. Heard slight ticking sound.

First thing that comes to my mind is the timing chain. Could have jumped time.
Was it low on oil?......
no....and it has only 55,000 miles on it!!
I would be interested to find out what happened when you find out whats wrong with your car also...Good Luck
Thanks.....he's pulling the head off as we write.
My mechanic checked the timing......still in time, just 5-10 lbbs. of compression 4 cylinders.
Has he spayed oil in cylinders and retested for compression? It called a wet compression test.
will do, thanks.
If its does not increase compression with a wet test I suspect a head gasket could have failed. I see that car has had some failures of compession loss due to head gasket fail in a site that we track commom failures of specfic car makes.
