Hi,
A local Car dismantler has had a 13B Turbo engine sat in his yard for a couple of years with no takers ! I might be able to pick this up at a steal, but is it possible to do a compression test by turning the flywheel by hand ? and what readings ? is there anything else i should look for ?
Many thanks
Paul

No, dont believe you can test it, and if its got all its ports open to the eliments I would predict its shagged. Dont pay to much for it, would possible be good to learn with?
