Im going to the junkyard tomarow to pull a v8 out of an old chevy.
besides, compression and oilpressure what else can I check to make sure its a good motor?
I figuered I would take a compresion gauge and a battery, so I can crank the motor to check compresion. is this the best method or should I turn the crank by hand?
I was also thinking of hooking up a spare oil gauge to see pressure while cranking the motor to check compresion.
anyone else have any Ideas of what to check?
thanx
