they are compression tested. there is no way to test the coolant seals....
You could try pressure testing it with coolant in the motor. You'll probably be able to see some leaking if the seals are bad.

Best of luck to ya. Did you get the new motor for free? Or did they not have a warranty of such? Good luck, I guess it takes a little more abuse for Vosko to learn a lesson, lol....
replacement engine was free. just had to rent another hoist, drive there, etc. it will be worth it as long as this engine is good

You could try it while the motor is out of the car if you have everything plugged while you do it. If water doesn't leak on the outside it may be leaking to the inside.
