I was wondering if u guys could pls tell me if there is a way to check a turbo engine compression that has been pulled out already? The person that i'm buying the engine from does not have starter or trans. IS there any other way to check if good?
THANKS

you cant do a real compression test but you can do one by ear by turning over the engine by hand and listening to the wooshes.

Not very, but if you hear strong wooshes comeing from all 6 rotor sides than your probably safe. If some wooshes sound strong and some don't than chances are there is a problem inside it.
