Maybe this helps to know what has to be done to the replaced engine?

"...On Feb 8th 2017 The Aviation Herald received information that the angle gearbox, connecting the gear box to the N2 rotor, cracked causing the gear box to disengage, as result the high pressure fuel pumps were no longer operating causing the engine to shut down due to fuel starvation. An engine restart was not attempted in consultation with dispatch and maintenance due to ACARS messages indicating activation of the magnetic chip detector. Following the engine change a high power engine run is now going to commence at Iqaluit, then the aircraft is estimated to position back to Zurich...."

I asked the question to Swiss: they kindly answered that the old GE-90 engine has been sent back to the manufacturer for investigation. In East Midlands ????

I guess that it is still under guarantee after such a short use...
