    it should tell you alot when he runs it but a leak down tester can really tell you the condition of a motors ring seal. in this deal if he can run it and it seems to run smoothly, rev smoothly, and not make any knocking or clicking noises then your geting a decent deal.

    He says the dome pistons are small pistons and were putting the compression at 11.5:1 and then he got some open chamber heads to lower the compression to 9.5:1 but he would still run the high level gas

    Do a compression test and put the numbers here. I would also like to see the specs on the engine.
