New to this airplanes, love warbirds and they look fun.

The Yak has inverted systems the CJ does not, the Yak has a tighter cockpit the CJ is roomier, the CJ is faster, the Yak has 360 HP a stock CJ has 285 HP, the CJ is dimensionally larger.

Excellent! Your decision is made.
You will love the Harvard/T6/SNJ which cover your specifications 110%.
However you may have to settle for the CJ6A which also pretty much covers.
It is a delightful aircraft to fly with light, perfectly balanced flight
controls (purely British in that regard).
There is only one serious down side which is they put the third wheel at the
wrong end!

Sir,
I don't believe you can go wrong with either aircraft. That being said, their strengths and weaknesses are a bit different. Define what your mission will be for the majority of your flights and choose from there. (Mine was the CJ6A).
The most important bit of advice is read this list on a regular basis! The folks who offer their expertise on this list to help solve maintenance issues are incredible. A few of the names who can be of great help are Doug, Dennis, Mark, Doc, Walt, Pappy and several others.
Good Luck!
Ken

Its a bit of a lottery, if the previous owner didnt do the starting procedure correctly then a rod could be bent and its not possible to tell.
The ones I am looking, one of the CJ 6 has been owned for 17 years by same guy and engine has 400hrs, I guess if he didnt do the proper procedure it would have been damaged by now. Compression tests in the 70s all cylinder at last inspection.
Although a bad rod wont affect compressions.
Any signs at what to look for that can show some signs of a bent rod?
Also is the year important? I looked at a 1972, and a 1983, both about same time on the engine and paint, 1983 plane has 1,000 less total time, owner wants $5,000 more than the one from 1972, and does not include parachutes.

I owned one of each until this week, having just sold my share in the -52. While I wouldn't want to discuss the market as I'm on the opposite side of the Atlantic, as an ownership proposition, I would recommend the CJ over the -52.
It was designed to be field serviceable where the -52 was intended to be returned to the factory regularly for what amounted to a full rebuild. The CJ is still in production so parts are easier to get hold of for the CJ, either from China directly or from the likes of Doug Sapp.
From a flying point of view, the CJ is a primary trainer so has pretty viceless handling. It can bite but it's less critical than the -52. The -52 was designed as an aerobatic machine so has a significantly faster roll rate and climbs significantly better (assuming the CJ is stock). It can fly the full Aresti catalogue although it's a bit like doing it in a tractor. In short, if you want to fly gentleman's/warbird aeros and tour, get the CJ. If you want to rearrange your internal organs with some negative G on short flights, buy the -52.

You can measure rod throw at TDC for each cylinder. I have forgotten the allowable difference for the M14. It is in the TOs. Richard Goode has quoted it before.

CJ6. Gentleman Acro
YAK Climbs better with bigger engine
CJ6 flies faster on smaller engine and less fuel.
CJ6 bigger fuel tanks. Better for Cross Country . Speed, Endurance, Comfort
YAK smaller cockpit.
YAK no Avionics Bay to work behind panel.
CJ6 Big cargo compartment for tools, parts, suitcases, extra scuba tank for
more emmergency on the road air.
YAK. Nada
CJ6 Many Access panels on outside of aircraft for inspection and
maintenance.
YAK. Stand on you head from cockpits
CJ6 Still in production and flown in 8-10 countries. Parts available
CJ6 Did I mention faster, more fuel on board and burning less gas? (Auto
Fuel 83 ethenol free)!
CJ6 Super Cool gull wings.
YAK Hard core acro.
CJ6 Flush Rivited. Faster and easy to wax.
YAK maybe looks more hard military.
YAK & CJ6 Many parts shared.
CJ6 Main gear retracts completely with wheel well covers. Nose protrutes
slightly.
YAK All gear protrudes. Great for great up landings with brakes!
CJ6 Trailing link main gear. Super smooth carrier landings.
YAK straight gear struts. Brace yourself mama.
YAK typically cheaper to buy.
CJ6 typically cheaper to fly.
Look for smoke system, auto spark plugs conversion, elevator spar
reinforcement, parachute, jack's, engine and tail stands, spare parts,
spare engine (new or used), how's the canopys, radio equipment,fuel
computer, autopilot, headsets, etc etc. It all adds into the price.
Good Luck
Determine your primary mission and buy for your primary mission.
