Re: Start motor w/out coolant?
Your water pump should at all possible should not be run dry because the
coolant lubricates the seals but what do I know. -- HarryS JAFGBR "aGraham" <aarongraham@mac.com.removeme> wrote in message news:aarongraham-140E34.16253909012004@corp-radius.supernews.com... > I am going to be pulling my radiator tomorrow to take it to get fixed. > The problem is i then have to move the Jeep out of the shop until I get > the radiator back.

Re: Start motor w/out coolant?
Absolutely. Make sure you have everything secured away from the moving
parts.

Re: Start motor w/out coolant?
I personally would not run an engine without coolant for more than 30
seconds.

Re: Start motor w/out coolant?
NO WAY should you drive it for a few minutes. The cylinder walls will turn
red hot and the engine will seize and be destroyed. 30 seconds MAXIMUM without coolant for my vehicles.
