have the Gas line hooked up to the fuel filter (pressure issue might come up) then hook up the battery, buy a remote start siwtch from Summit or some one.

Have not tried it on a Honda but worked with 383s & 350s

I have seen something similar to this done, it wasnt a honda engine, but they did it while the engine was out of the car.

you need the ecu, electrronics, etc to do this. Did it on a 305, but whole different story. You better have it on an engine stand or something too because it will go out of control when it fires up.

preasure check it, that be bad *** if you tried to start it outside the car... all you need to do is give power to the started and you can have it make compression, that will tell you about your seals, valves, and so forth. there is also a tool that runs straight compression into the cylinders and if the preasure drops then something is leaking... Same idea, but you dont have to start the motor..
