With everything still plugged clean the engine real good. Change the oil. Then take out the plugs, and put no more than 5cc (one teaspoon) of light oil (like Marvel Mystery oil) in each cylinder and let sit a few minutes. Then you turn it by hand a few times. This will let you check your compression by measuring how far the oil will shoot out the spark plug hole.
