First test of an engine is the compression test. If the compression is within 75% of the new engine spec, all cylinders should be within 20 psi of each other.
Next test is the cylinder leakdown test. Putting pressure into each cylinder and checking the leakage past the rings and valves.
General rule of thumb of any engine- if it starts up on the first 2 or 3 revolutions, does not emit blue smoke from the tailpipe and will pull the vehicle up a hill at normal speed, then it should be a good engine.

How do you know if your timing belt is going out?
You will not know. It may look great and be ready to snap. That is why you are required to replace the belt at a set mileage. If the engine is an interference engine and the belt breaks you will be more than just stranded with a non-running engine. You will have major internal engine damage. Replace the belt at the interval that is listed in your owners manual and do not neglect this maintenance.
