If someone were to purchase a used motor and did a compression test and a coolant system pressure test, would this be satisfactory to determine if the car is going to run for a few years?

 

If your going to spend your money, do it right. By the time you get it installed and working right you'll have spent close to the same money and the end result won't be the same. My opinion anyway...

unless ur current motor is trashed.. and doesn't have good parts to re-use..

ur better off having ur current motor overhauled..

 

nothing is certian with rotary engines.
just because it passed a compression and coolant test, that has no reflection on how long the engine will last. the engine could last 5km or 100k km it all depends on the conditions its exposed to.
