I want to do a compression test on the 1G I bought. I know how to do a compression test, but if the engine has been sitting for some time(and is drained of fluids), is there anything I should do to avoid buggering it? How much oil does a 1G take, and how much do I need just to have enough to do a comp test? I'm going to pull the sump off after the comp test, so any more than nessesary will be a waste.

I was thinking pre-oiling the rings by squirting some oil in each cyclinder first would be a good idea, but that of course will affect the comp test Rolling Eyes
