starting enginge while on jack stands

[eviljoker]

you'll be fine...but keep the camera rolling for future postage.

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

As long as the car is sitting flat and not on one stand you'll be ok. I do it all the time when i change the oil on the car.

 

[scorpmatt]

if its fwd, then its ok in gear or not, with a rwd it gets funner

 

[eviljoker]

a camera rolling where least expected is an accident waiting to happen. :0.
its on stands and no jack
just need the egnine on to make the pump run. so that it can pump old fluid out.

 

[DaTT]

Again...read above post by me.

 

[Maximus96]

it'll be ok if you have quality jackstands. one shouldn't trust his life on sh!tty jack stands.

 

[Colt45]

pump what fluid out? it sounds like you're an idiot.

 

[Kipper]

You should have no trouble. Just leave it in park or if you have a manual, in neutral.

I do it all the time.

 

[bret]

your probably gonna die.. sorry man

 

[95SS]

WTF are you trying to do?

 

[iamwiz82]

The only thing I can think of is that he is replacing his transmission fluid.

[chrisms]

It's fine. When I took my engine out I had it on jack stands; was moving the whole damn engine back and forth trying to jiggle it loose with the engine hoist chains.

 

[amdskip]

Are you pumping your oil out???

 

[radioouman]

pump the oil out by running the engine. Good idea!

 

[Eli]

What the hell sort've vile automotive abuse is going on in here?

 

[DaTT]

Agreed....never use the engine to pump any sort of fluid out, unless its an automatic tranmission your working on and its hooked up to a machine.

 

[ElFenix]

the oil comes out even faster if you take the heads off

 

[Sukhoi]

Just pull the pistons to change the oil.

 

[mobobuff]

Don't forget to reverse the battery polarity.

 

[QuitBanningMe]

I hope so. I've been doing it for many years.

 

[eviljoker]
