Abstract
A system for testing an engine, the engine including, a drive shaft, and a fluid circulation subsystem, the fluid circulation subsystem having at least one heat exchanger, and a fresh water pump (engine auxiliary water pump). The portable engine test tool can couple to the engine flywheel housing or output shaft of the transmission and can use the fresh water pump of an engine to provide water to an attached or integrated dynamometer and provide braking force to such. In some embodiments the portable engine testing system can use a fresh water supply reservoir.
