I reckon that engine is now knackered. They were running it without any coolant.. :roll:

It's not like they're running it without oil.

They only run the engine for about 30 seconds the oil would provide enough cooling to protect the engine for such a short run and the engine isn't under load :wink:

How can you tell how many times they've run it, and for how long?

Cause if they had been running it without oil It would have seized, besides the obvious lack of exhaust it sounded healthy enough. I would imagine the purpose of the clip was to demonstrate to a potential buyer that the engine was a runner as I would imagine the rest of the car was broken for parts or scrapped :wink: Your'e very cynical G :lol:
