RE: Engine Work Before Emission Tests This may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but the general rule is Do Not work on an engine before inspection. The reason is simple. If your rig can't pass inspection even after work is done, you may be able to get a waiver BUT only if you can show that a certain amount ( in dollars) of work has been done AFTER you failed the test. If the work is done before, it doesn't count. An exception to this would be modifications that, upon inspection, would fail the vehicle automatically, like removing the cat or some of the other 'trick' things people do to 'improve' their vehicles. Some jurisdictions include a physical inspection of the engine compartment, others only look at the actual emissions.
