Questions Regarding Engine Run-Up???

Hi,

I have few questions regarding engine run-up in the context of the thread "Engineer death in south tenerife during engine test":

1-During one engine run -up at high power, does the MM states that the opposite engine should also be run-up? and at what power: high power or idle?

2-Just wondering when using "Flags" as visual indicators on engine bleed valves: is it possible to leave reverse cowls open during engine run-up to see these "Flags"?

If I am not mistaken the engine air bleed valves are located on the engine core (medium and high bypass engines). Even if these valves are located on the case fan, the fan cowls must be closed if high power engine run -up is performed. Is this statement is false or true?

Feedback appreciated. Thank you.
