ENGINE DIAGNOSIS TIPS!
We use the 1967 Mustang as a test bed for judging an engines health.
Keep it cold. Make sure to tell the owner beofre you roll out that yodon’t want it warmed up before you arrive. Never buy a car that the engine is warm to the touch when you get there. This usually means that they are trying to hide a rod knock or other issue.
Check fluids first. Oil should be good, fresh oil could be the sign that they are hiding an issue.
Check coolant. Any oil or milkiness indicates a head gasket issue. Or a cracked block.
Cranking check. If it lopes on cranking it has a dead cylinder.
Vacuum gauge. It can tell you a lot about the health of an engine.
