pressurize the cooling system for leak checking, flow test for restriction/scale or perhaps there's a spec on charge air temperature.

depends on how bad the leak is and what configuration the cooler is (above or below the intake runners on the head). Real bad leak/slow leak over time, could bend a rod on startup if there's a cylinder with water in it.
D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time😄
