What to look for?

Hey guys, I have a quick question. I'm looking at a K20 right now (thinking of buying) is there anything I can look for to tell if the engine is in good condition? or it's all in the trust system?
Thanks

Compression testing and maybe a leakdown test. Those will tell you if the motor is in decent shape. Of course, you would need to test it yourself to make sure the readings are accurate.

look in the az for sale forum. There is a K24 for 1900. Ask if he'll ship. He needs to get rid of it asap before he moves. he had like 4 or 5 I think, and all vins check out, he has reciept from buying them. pretty good deal. Hit him up. I think they are all very low mileage in awesome condition.
