Love these little cars!  Group: Members Posts: 2,443 Joined: 11-June 05 From: Port Townsend, WA Member No.: 4,253 Region Association: None  |
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)
