This HAS to be a joke - BJoe - 11-27-2008
Quote:My car was idling like crap the other day so I figured since I just got it, it may have been awhile since anyone changed the oil out. I decided to go ahead and change the oil. I used Mobile 1 synthentic oil like I was reccomended on here. Anyways, I drain out the oil and noticed it was extremely dark and even after 10 minutes of draining, it was still coming out. I decided to go ahead and flush it to make sure all the bad stuff got out. I hooked up the hose, ran water through the engine, started it up and was waiting for the water to come out clean (The engine never went above idle so I was told this would be ok). Anyways, About 3 minutes into this, then engine starts shaking and shuts off. I figured it was all cleaned out so I plugged it up, added the oil and figured I was ready to go. WRONG! The car won't freaking start now. This car has been nothing but trouble for me, I think I am done with it.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Anyone that is stupid enough to run their engine on water only (as oil) needs to be taken away from this planet.

Soo sorry, If you think that water can flush the motor ,is the most gullible person. If this is the case I have ocean front property in Arizona for him to buy. If all eles fails it must be a girl.

I kinda skipped around looking at what people were saying...some moron said "It's okay to run the engine at idle with no oil. but not with water" Wtf you should never run an engine without oil Lol...just because there is oil coating it, that will run off, the main reason for oil pressure is your main bearings...I will never understand how some people were allowed to procreate and, and spawn this mentally handicapped scum to the planet.

the problem is that there are people telling him bad advise. Some people don't have a clue about auto's and if someone gives bad advise than why blame him. I actually kinda feel bad for him. Why he is on a mustang website with a fast car is beyond me but thats not the point. He stated he was told to do it that way. Someone obviously knows nothing about cars to be giving advise.
J-dub, The main reason for oil pressure is to push oil to the top end of your engine. It has to push to reach into the heads and lubricate. The main bearings will be lubricated with crank splash. Actually hardcore racers take oil out for a big race to reduce splash drag on the crank, but still allowing the oil pump to pump up to the top end and run down.

yeah I've heard guys run the engines a little "Lean" to get some more RPM. Figured getting oil to the top of the engine was a given, but still, makes no sense at all to say "Its okay to run without oil" in any sentence.

Its okay to run without oil in your electric R/C car.
That made sense.

An electric "motor" is not an "Engine"
But I guess there had to be one smartass remark, I left it open for that.
