If an engine has been run without oil for any length of time it should be very closely monitored for signs of deterioration and wear. Some engines manage to survive being run briefly without oil and others cripple themselves in a matter of seconds while running oil-less.

There is a long steel tube that runs from the heater core to the engine. This tube tends to rust through in which case you should replace it. The tube itself is not that expensive, but it's tricky to replace. You'll need to remove the alternator and the dog bone engine mounts. Rock the engine as far forward as possible and replace the tube. Russtech67

Will the engine seize when driving while oil goes?

Yes, if an engine runs low on oil or completely runs out, it can seize. Oil lubricates the engine's moving parts, and without it, friction increases significantly, leading to overheating and potential damage. If the engine seizes, it can cause catastrophic failure, resulting in costly repairs or the need for a complete engine replacement. Regular oil checks and changes are essential to prevent such situations.

Can a dragging starteer make a motor run bad?

If it's not disengaging like its supposed to. See if it's retracted from the flywheel after it is started. NEW ANSWER: NO it will not, The starter has nothing to do with the way the engine runs. The starter only turns the engine over so it will start. If the starter is draging then you do need to replace it.
