I have an engine (1990-94) engine that has not been run in about 6 years.? It was in a previous bus of mine that had deep, deep rust and I took off the road.? Unfortunately I didn't fog the engine or anything like that since I thought it would only be off the road for a little while....but here we are.? ?
?
I'd now like to put the engine into my other bus but I'd like to make sure it is still a viable engine.
?
What is the minimum setup I need to do an effective compression test?
?
I have a spare transmission/starter etc.? I was planning to bolt that to the engine, hook the starter up to a battery, with a start switch, and see what is what.? ?I think I also have just a bellhousing kicking around...?
?
Is that enough?
?
Anything i can do to the engine at this point to increase its odds of returning to healthy service?
