Brian and I discussed this quite a bit in the past few days. What way can we be sure this motor is still in good condition. Is there a way to check the engine without tearing it down. After some research and discussion with other engine technicians we decided to do a leak down test. This link is a good read on why a leak down test an excellent test of an engine.afinepoint;151214 wrote: Wish mileage was known.

I did the test last night. Every cylinder had nearly the same result, all well within the specifications for a racing engine.
With this information, I am confident in saying the engine is in excellent condition.
