Before pulling a engine

Okay, I know I will never use my 330 that I am going to pull, but just incase some one might be interested in buying it and for storage.

1. Video of running with a few snaps of throttle and video of tail pipe showing no smoke.

2. Thinking of doing a compression test each cylinder and writing it on the valve cover for each cylinder should, I video the gage as well ?
3. Hook up oil gage and see what pressure is idle and 2500rpm

Any other things I should do to it for storage ? And possible test I can do before pulling it ?

Wow these reading seem really low for this engine but rings appear to be good

1. 75psi with a few drops of oil 76psi
2. 90 psi w/ oil 90psi
3. 76psi w/oil 76psi
4 90psi w/oil 90psi
5. 75psi w/oil 75psi
6. 75psi w/oil 75psi
7. 76psi w/oil 76psi
8.75psi w/oil 75psi

This was a cold engine with wot
Left bank plugs looked a little lean

Vac gage running 13hg snap the throttle it drops to 5hgs rises to 20hg levels out at 13hg steady needle

From my research sounds like a timing chain is in order

Guess I don't feel to bad about pulling this tired old 330 after all

Sure did run okay tho
