Yes. If you got one of those engine stands that allows the motor to run....im not sure what there called..

You can compression test them dry, but it really doesn't mean shit. Without the motor being warm it's not accurate.
If you do a dry test have oil in the engine and use the starter to crank it over. Be carefull though they buck a little. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif |

Errr..looks like you have a toy too. (?) In regards to the thread, you're always taking a chance buying a used motor. How bout a new one from the dealership? https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif |
