IF YOU STOPPED REALLY SOON AFTER YOU SAW THE LIGHT AND HEARD THE KNOCKING (LIKE 30 SECONDS OR LESS)
AND THE CRANKSHAFT WILL ROTATE, USING THE STARTER, OR EVEN "WITH THE KEY OFF" AND TURNING THE CRANK WITH A RATCHET OR WRENCH, 2 OR MORE FULL REVOLUTIONS (TO VERIFY WHETHER IT'S LOCKED UP OR NOT) SEE MY 1st PIC (TURNING MY JEEP CRANKSHAFT)
MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T DONE A WHOLE BUNCH OF DAMAGE
IF YOU IGNORED THE SCREAMS FOR HELP AND KEPT ON-A-GETTIN'-IT, YOUR ENGINE MAY HAVE SUFFERED A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK!
IF YOU WERE OUT OF OIL, YOU ARE GONNA NEED MORE THAN 2 QUARTS TO GET IT TO A SAFE LEVEL
MALE OR FEMALE, IF YOU DON'T DO "THE SIMPLE" MAINTENANCE CHECKS, OR WATCH SOMEONE ELSE DO 'EM, EXPECT TO WALK OR SPEND YOUR FUN MONEY ON VEHICLE REPAIRS.
THE PIC AT THE TOP OF THE POST WAS MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER (NOW 27) HAND CRANKING MY 1946 WILLYS (HER BIRTH DATE IS THE HOOD NUMBERS) AT 10, SHE WAS 100% ABLE TO DRIVE "WILLY", DO AN OIL CHANGE, CHANGE TIRES, AND ABLE TO DIAGNOSE SOME PROBLEMS.
SHE "LEGALLY" GOT HER LICENSE IN WILLY AT 16, WITH NO SEAT BELTS (NOT ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT), REFUSING TO USE THE STARTER, SHE HAND CRANKED HIM FOR THE ROAD TEST!
RETURN AND LET ME KNOW IF THE ENGINE WILL ROTATE!
THE MEDIC
