I agree with ss about not running without water. Late model engines (60 - 70's and newer) have thinner castings and are more prone to damage. Less metal less thermal mass to absorb heat.

While you can run an engine for 10 minutes without oil or coolant before it destructs you are doing damage all along taking life out of the engine.
