I have heard of bench testing with a variable speed drill coupled to the input shaft but I cannot remember the details. I did save this post from a few years ago by Don Walton on checking out an O/D

Yup, no need to construct a huge test rig like some other folks do. I'll post the instructions for the drill adaptor tomorrow, I have the text of the instructions but through the years my images got

Thanks Bill. An interesting article. Especially the bit about the rocker stud snapping and the engine falling - luckily while it was suspended in the car. I don't think I will use that method to lift

I dropped one once while lifting by the valve cover bolts. When I was stripping the soon to be V8 I was pulling everything out with less than the normal amount of care. Something hung up, and rather
