EJ20T water pump without water??
Hi guys, as my resto continues I will need to move car around (only up driveway and onto trailer). The engine is staying in but the radiator is coming
out. Firstly if the engine is only running for 60sec max, will it hurt the engine and secondly would any damage be done to the water pump without
water running through it or is it sealed and water has nothing to do with it?
Thanks, Andrew

i have run jap engines previously without water. My advice would be it should be ok but be mindful of how long you leave it running.

OK cool, was simply to get up on trailer really so have it positioned, start up and drive on.
