Service mode question

I'm wrapping up an oil cooler/filter housing gasket replacement and wondering if I can fire the car up in a partial service mode? I'd bolt the fame together. I don't want to snap on the front fascia and fender wells and find out I have an issue.

There shouldn't be any issue doing that. I assume that you just want to check for leaks and won't be driving the car, right?

You can unless you have a coolant line disconnected or something.
