    What to check before installing a used engine

    Hello All,
    I recently aquired a MNS engine with approx 20k on it. I want to check it out before I consider swapping it for the motor I am currently running.
    Here are the items I have on my check list, am I missing anything?

    Compression test

    Cam chain adjustment/ check

    Valve clearances

    Transmission check - suggestions on the best way to check this would be helpful!

    Clutch function

    thanks,
    Andy

    More than just a compression test, you might want to condsider a leak down test. The search tab at the top of the page should bring you some information.
