There may be a way to test it with some sort of sonic tester that can measure volume, but it may not be affordable for the home mechanic...

I have a how to on measuring compression on any engine to see what your combo does... It's a simple and cheap method that can be done in any home garage...

How to Check Compression


"assembled engine" kinda tough to do on his engine...Being assembled and all:rofl:


There may be a way to do it with either sonic testing or air, but it may be expensive for the home mechanic....

Put the engine at TDC and measure volume, then at BDC and measure volume... I would recommend using a piston dead stop tool to find true TDC, then reference it 180° for BDC....

We used sophisticated air testers at the engine plant to measure diameters and tight clearances...
