Engine Bench Testing

I'm completing my first rotary engine rebuild. It's a thermal reactor 12a for a car I have had since new. Used an Atkins kit. Nice folks, very helpful.

Everything seems to have gone well with minor frustrations. I did drop a piece of apex seal into the water jacket and had to take it all apart and start over. Video was an hour. Reality was about 15.

It turns nicely and spits air out the plug holes. Is there any bench testing I can do to identify issues (mistakes). I won't be installing the engine until the body and paint are finished. Best case three months.

Thanks,

Herb
