Running Engine Without Tranny

[tapout]

Hey guys.. I have a question about running my engine without the tranny in place. I have pulled the tranny and disconnected the master cylinder from the clutch pedal. The bellhousing, clutch and pressure plate are still installed and untouched from the removal of the tranny. I have not run the engine in about a week and wanted to circulate the oil in the engine before it sits for too long. Do i need to remove the clutch and pressure plate before i run it or is it ok to just start the engine and bring it to temp as it is now? Thanks in advance..

I don't think it'll hurt anything, but a week of not running isn't going to cause you any problems imo.

You can run as is without a problem
