Does anyone know how to tell if a motor is good or no good with it out of a car? My friend has a d16z6 that he got for free from someone that used to shoot it with n20 and I'm thinking about buying a 91 civic and putting it in for a daily driver. I just want to make sure that this motor isn't gonna die on me as soon as I start driving it back and forth to work.

 

compression test

 

yeah thats what I thought...

...hook a tranny, battery, and starter to her and hold on!

I was afraid of that

 

Compression and leakdown test...

 

finished testing a few hours ago

150, 90, 100, 60

I'd say its a boat anchor
