How would I test this motor out of the car? The only way to get a compression test os by cranking over the motor with the starter. The starter and the flywheel for the starter is mounted on the torque coverter. I really couldnt crank the motor over enough needed to do a good compression test.

you really only need to crank it over 4 compression strokes so as long as you can hook up a starter which isn't that hare and have a fully charged battery you can do a good compression test. you could have done a leakdown test as well. that on top of a compression test will give you a better idea of the condition of the engine and what's wrong with it
