How to check for good compression on S4 13B motor on the ground?
So I have a motor out and on the ground that a customer gave me to put in his car, and he says its good... However, I would like some sort of way of checking before I just go put it in. I do NOT have the mazda compression test tool, so I will need another idea other than that.

^ Yep. Prop the throttle plates open and add a small amount of oil into the combustion chambers through the exhaust ports / spark plug holes. If it's bone dry inside, compression numbers will come out low. Just don't add a ton. If you add too much, it will produce artificially high numbers, and hide potential problems.
