Testing any other way doesn't insure that the IP is putting out enough pressure to pop open the injector (2000± PSI). You'll need to be super careful that you don't touch the injectors while they are spraying or you might just land up with a diesel injection right through your skin though.

You would need to clamp the IP, maybe in a carpenters vice (wooden jaws) then find a way to turn the IP, maybe a spare "splined collier" welded to something that would fit in the drill motor??....hummm Someone must have tried this. Could be used as a pop tester too
