Subject:Oil Not Needed

When I was getting ready to change out the motor in my old 70 bus, I decided
to see what would happen if I drained out the oil and filled the crank case
with water.  It sure felt funny running the hose into the oil filler.  I
fired her up and the oil light turned off when the engine was up to speed.
I drove around the neighborhood and it behaved ok.  I didn't have the
courage to run it up really hot, although there was steam coming out here
and there..
