how to test the engine?
I pulled the engine from my parts car, and i was wondering if there was any way i could test wether it was good or not, besides installing it in my car?

you could remove the leading spark plugs and turn the flywheel or the main pulley by hand. If you hear 3 even "pssssshhh" sounds coming from each rotor, then the engine has some life left in it. If the "psssshhh" sounds are really weak, the engine sux. This is the poor mans compression test. You could also hook up a tranny and starter to the engine. By powering the starter, the engine will rotate and you can get a compression test with an actual gauge. Hope this helps.
