Subject: compression testing... on the bench

folks, i have a wasserboxer long block NOT IN A CAR
which i'd like to check its compression. Has anybody
bolted a bellhousing and starter to a longblock on
their workbench and tested the compression? (i know it
is a cold test, but it will give me an idea of the
quality of it, etc)

thanks
matthew
