You run it until the engine reaches normal operating temperature on the temperature gauge this way the oils viscosity will be correct. on colder days you need to run it longer.
You should let the ventilation system run about four minutes before starting the engine on a boat.
As long as the engine will run (some won't) it is possible to drive it.ButMost bad senders leak oil and will ruin the engine Some systems will not provide power to the fuel pump when the sender is bad.Old old trucks will run
Run the blower. (To get the gas fumes out)
That may cause engine to run hot, if you plan on taking a long trip you should get engine in proper condition to prevent problems. Ensure car is properly diagnosed as well.
for as long as you take care of it.
The thermostat control engine temperature. If it fails the engine can run hot or cold - that would happen long before over-heating caused the engine to stall.
As long as there is oil in the engine it can run. If it has not had an oil change for a year even if it was stored I would change the oil/filter before driving this car.
If there is a hole in the engine then something came out or tried to come out. If by chance the engine started and ran again it would run poorly and not for long. I would advise to have a mechanic determine what to do next, don't drive it.
Sure you CAN, but if you do continue to run an engine with a blown head gasket you will destroy the engine. Do not run any engine with a blown head gasket or you will be buying a new engine.
No, the engine will not run with a broken cam belt.
Depends on the engine but severe engine damage will start to occur almost immediately. It will run a few minutes until it starts to overheat then the engine will seize. It will not take long to destroy the engine.
if the water pump is broke, you wont be driving for very long. probably about 15 miles, depending on how warm it is. then the engine will lock up forever. if the thermostat is broke, and it is closed, then the coolant wont circulate, and it will go a bit farther before it locks up. if the stat is broke open, then it will run, but it will run rich for a long time.
