I'm gonna be looking at an SR, because it's really cheap for the deal, and it's still on the shipping crate from the company this guy bought it from. But I still want to do a compression test on it before I fork over any money. Is it possible to do a compression test without the engine being hooked up? If it's been covered sorry I tried searching, and found Hitmans post, but it doesn't really cover this.

Thanks.
