This engine originally was swapped out due to bad oil leak ( 1 qt/350miles) that seems to be from a bad head gasket.
It has no starter on it, in fact all accessories including the starter were swapped to the other engine. It had 188K miles on it when removed.
So I guess you're telling me a leak down test is the only way to determine compression? The engine is sitting on an engine stand and it still has oil in it and it's been under cover in a garage.
Thanks for the info so far.
