You can compression test them dry, but it really doesn't mean ****. 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.

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?
