What to check before installing a used engine

[acof911]

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.
