HI looking at buying a project motor it has low compression on the number three cyl I was planning to check the comp on the other 5 and check for spark as well as check the lower unit oil any other advice and is there anyway to tell if its been rebuilt before besides looking at the crankcase bolts thx for your help

If it was repainted it will be hard to tell, try to find out what caused the failure as if overheated these blocks are known for sleeves turning....
