I have a couple of complete 2.0 motors in my garage that I would like start-up in my garage but out of the car. I can do a leak down test on both of them and do a compression test, but I would also like to see how the run, adjust valves, timing, before I install one of them. They are both FI motors.

Any tips or advice?

A stand is best. If you start it on the floor I'd suggest you put it on a piece of old carpet. They make a hell of a lot of noise rattling on bare concrete. Also make sure that the floor is flat, and not a sloped driveway. You'd be impressed how fast those little buggers pick up speed going downhill.
