Challenger Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) I pulled my turbo engine out of my ZX spring of 2010 and it has since been sitting in my Z. When I had it on the engine stand I did prime the oil pump but there hasnt been any oil sprayed on the cylinder walls for awhile. I had been cranking over my car some checking wiring and spark for EDIS and I started to think it may be bad on the cylinder walls if the oil has drained off. No fuel has been sprayed in the engine since I pulled it so that helps. Whats everyones opinion on this, does it hurt? I imagine just squirting some oil into the cylinders through the spark plugs probably wont get much on the walls, but its worth a shot. It would just be hard with the dished pistons, it would just pool up rather than drain. The engine is turning and cranking over smoothly. Does metal hold the oil well enough to not worry about it?

letitsnow Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Turning over dry for a short period isn't going to hurt the rings. If you're nervous, give it a shot of wd40 or oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
