Engine floor test?

Post by cdavie2002 »

Is it possible and are there any benefits of starting an engine up, when its out of the car?

youd need to build a secure stable frame to mount the engine on preferably with a gearbox on or design a flywheel cover....

what engine is it?

used to have these at college..... engines in a frame with castors on it that you could start etc.
