Ran Without Oil For About 90 Seconds, B230 Engine 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Mon Nov 18 06:15 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I did the one of the dummest things ever while changing the engine oil. I started the engine and ran it about 90 seconds idling (rev'ed it once)before realizing I hadn't added the engine oil yet - dum, dum, dum. I had just had it out and warmed it up before draining the oil, so oil was still clinging to the surfaces, at least to the cam which was still oily after running it without oil. I didn't hear anything unusual and it runs good as usual.

Has anyone had any experiences doing this kind of dum thing and do you think it hurt the engine?

Thank you.
