compression test an engine thats not in car
 

anyway to do this other than listen for the 6 pulses?
technically couldnt i just bolt the tranny and starter back up and strap it down really well?

Yes. You don't need to strap it down at all. I have done this before. Just hook up a battery with the positive cable to the starter and put the ground thru the starter mounting bolt.

It's even easier if you have a spare bellhousing.

sweet. :)

Don't tell me I have to come down and show you how to do that, lol.

dont forget to add a few caps of oil since it may be a lil dry

come down and help me get this rx4 running. :icon_tup:
i got no buddies to help me wrench anymore.

Sounds like a good project for the meet.
