Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking you guys for wanting a test bench. That's cool. But is it really worth the time? How many engines are you going to test in a year?
A little off topic, but while on the subject of buying a used engine, or tractor, I don't believe anything about the engine that the PO tells me. I bought 3 tractors in the last year that I was told "ran great". One I could hear the rod knocking while I was loading it, one was missing and had a dropped valve, the other had problems galore. I have a "max price" that I am willing to pay for used engines, and that's all I'll spend.
