Enough oil

Hi to everyone, I was just wondering, how can you tell if enought oil gets injected into the engine. I had another engine installed, a 12a. The other engine was ceased, that besides the point.
Also, we started the car (RX7 1st GEN), after a few weeks of deep freeze between minus 30 to minus - 47 the car , started very well. Is that a good sign for a rotary..meaning does it has a good compression. I hope so, cause after paying for all this, we didn't even have a real chance yet to really try on the road because the winter was settling in.

regards

Well you might wanna post this in the 1G forum (a mod will probably move it anyway) but if FBs are like FCs then yea I guess its a good sign, but you might wanna get compression checked anyway. Anyway, wait till it warms up all the way, then shut it off and turn it back on, its harder to start warm then cold. Good luck with the new ride!
