So I cant do a compression test on an engine and gearbox package? Or I can, but I have to connect it to fuel and power first?
You can - you just need to have the engine able to turn over, so power to starter motor, something to steady the engine and someone to hold the throttle wide open. Take all six plugs out that way battery isn't sapped of power on cranking. No need for fuel - you're not starting the engine
