I'm getting in a JDM engine & I would like to do a compression check Before its installed. I have heard of this being done on the engine stand. Has anyone done this? If so how is it done?
Thanks

Yes I would like to know if this is possible, I know leak down tests are possible, but what about compression tests? aight peaceSupra_Class said:I'm getting in a JDM engine & I would like to do a compression check Before its installed.

Does it shake violently man when you do this? so all that is needed is the manifolds in place, remove the spark plugs, hold the throttle open, and then tap the starter to crank, and it would read? aight thanks, peaceZaZZn said:this is how i did it.. on the stand or on the floor.. stick in the compression tester in cyl then remove the spart plug from each other cyl... Hold open the throttle body.. Now the imporant part to get it cranking hook the battery up to the power wire and a ground to the little switch down on the side of the starter... And presto the engine tires to come to life..
lol... sounds ghetto...ZaZZn said:takes a few cranks like 5-6 to get a good reading it does shake a fair amount but remember how much LBS in is that engine... just have a friend old it still with a foot.
