Compression test that sucker... Make sure the numbers are within 10%.

compression test and whether it's good or not, overhaul that sucker, top to bottom. That'll set you up for the most god-like modification engine ever, trust me, it all starts at the heart! just never ever ever ever EVER forget to tune-up after each "hook up"
