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

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.
