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.
