Default Checking compression on a gsr engine

If I have a b18c sitting on an engine stand still all together. How can i check comp with no tranny or starter? Can I spin the pulley with a socket and ratchet enough to check if I have a good gauge that holds? Also what should comp be on a b18c with 50k on it? Thanx

You can't. Get a starter.

You could do a leakdown test without a starter but not a compression check
