Alex it was more of a guess as to how much compression basically i spun the crank pulley by hand and felt the resistance on the pulley if that makes sense ? i wouldn`t know for certain until i buy the motor and get it home to test properly . It was a 500klm round trip to get some other parts from the guy . The Guy told me the price was as is , i asked if i could take of the head to look inside but he said as is take it or leave it .


Hence i am asking for a rough guess as to wether i should buy it or not .

For $750.00 I'd leave it unless you could get the motor rolling over and get the compression on each cylinder...and that wouldn't be a quarantee that it wasn't cracked..For $100.00 bucks I'd take it under the conditions and you would have at least some good parts off it if the block was cracked but under those conditions he set it is worth the scrap weight..or maybe a few bucks more..
500 KM is a long way to drag home an anchor..
