Too test you do a leakdonwn test(like someone already said), basically you put the cylinder you want to test at TDC(on compression stroke) and put compressed air into were your spark plug goes.

you arent really listening for the air to come out...you are watching the air pressure guage, and if you stop pumping at lets say 65 psi, and 10 seconds later its at 25psi...
so yeah

Set the timing, try to run it, if it runs you're good.
I jumped a SHITLOAD of teeth in my Supra, and it was fine. Unless you have high-compression pistons, or a smaller gasket, you have a shitload of clearance.

I'm gonna take the car somewhere else.
He said the car won't start. I told him when I first brought him the car that it needed a battery. He forgot.
