I had to remove my car's radiator to get it repaired. That may take
several days to a week, since the repair shop is real busy. I want to
move the car to a differerent place on the property. It will take 5
minutes at most to start it and move it. Is it safe to run an engine
without coolant for a short time like this? It's an 80's car with 6 cyl
engine if that matters. I dont think it can get real hot in that amount
of time, but I thought I'd ask. I'm handy with cars, but no mechanic.

Yet another troll from HomoGay.

Yeah, sure looks like it. 5 mins to move it on his property?
In 5 mins you could go 2.5 miles at 15mph.


Hey dickhead, I'm sure I'm not the first person who has had to wait for
auto parts and needed to move a vehicle. I'm asking a serious question.
I do not have another way to move it. It's assholes like you that ruin
newsgroups.
just went into my kill file.

He's been in mine (and a lot more) a LOOONG time.

Hi,
Oil also cools engine. But I don't know how long the oil alone can keep
the temp in safe range.
