I got my motor from a friend,sadly that motor has had 2 previous owners,,it has great compression,no smoke,or leaks,so is there a way to tell if that motor was driven hard?

 

No, not if it's in good cond.

I beat on my motor sometimes, and it has full compression, no leaks, no smokes, etc. It's in great cond. So realistically, no

i was just makin sure..alot of people dont know so i just asked

 

No not really, but if its got good compression and isn't smoking or knocking i wouldn't worry about it.

 

Yeah there is no way to tell, for sure.

When I got my frist B16, I took the valve cover off and everything underneath was nearly black with scorched oil. I thought if it would even run, it would run like ****. Not only did it run well, six years later it still ran strong and didn't consume oil.
