Good question. I've heard of several ways which include the following:

1: Checking if gray smoke comes out of your car in the morning right after the cold start. If it does than that means the engine is week.

2: While the engine is running open the engine cap (the round one). Invert it and check if its inside is oily. You could also place your hand on the hole left by this cap (if the engine cover is not too hot) and rev the car a bit. If you get oil on your palms that means the engine is weak.

3: Water drops coming out of the silencer also represent a good engine. (I'm not too sure about this one though).

4: Good pick also indicates a strong engine. If your car is tuned and yet if it doesn't accelerate as you press the pedal that means you have a weak engine.

These are some of the techniques I've seen mechanics apply these to check engine condition.

Experts opinion sought thought.
