I have a couple of complete 2.0 motors in my garage that I would like start-up in my garage but out of the car. I can do a leak down test on both of them and do a compression test, but I would also like to see how the run, adjust valves, timing, before I install one of them. They are both FI motors.
Any tips or advice? Attached image(s) |

DO NOT put the engine on a piece of carpet to light the engine off.
As your exhaust will be sitting on the ground. great way to start a smoldering plastic stink bomb.... Or worse... Those heat exchangers get HOT..... Even if you set the engine directly on concrete. No worrys... the engine Does NOT flop around. The heat exchangers are wide and the engine and trans don't go anywhere... Been there... done that... no problems..... Cheers, Clayton |
