is it ok for a blower car to sit for a while?

[ADRENLN]

with out starting it? mainly im refuring to the blowers where you tap the oil pan. just wondering how long they can sit with out being started?

any ideas?

I would think if it sat for a while you could just prime it a few times, like bump the starter, - should work right?

What was the blower doing before it was installed on your car? I don't see why that would be any different than letting it sit...

It is no diffrent than a car without a blower.

thanks guys. i dont have it on yet. i was just curious because i assume the oil would all sink to the bottom of the oil pan after a week or so. i just didnt know if this hurt a blower at all.

even on the engine the start up is where the most wear occurs so i figured it might impact the blower in a negitive mannor.

seems ok though.

I've had my car sitting for a month, did a few quick cranks before starting up and everything is still all good.....

As soon as you start the engine, the blower has oil. Also, the oil doesn't really "drain out" very fast...I hadn't started my car in a few months and then removed the drain line and it was wet up at the blower.
