Runing with no oil
Hi guys I have a 1985 F350 diesel I use for towing. I ran my truck with no oil
for about a block. I am now hearing a light knock when I rev. Hoping I did no
damage to the motor. If any body can help me? or should I look in to rebuilding
the motor. Hopping to hear from any body thank you.

This is not good at all. Take it easy. How is the oil pressure?
Might want to ask this question in the pre 94 7.3 section for better response

Ruining with no oil
Howdy,
How do you know it was a block? Did you see the pressure drop or is that where you happened to notice it?
You might need to start looking for a replacement engine. You might have seized/spun a rod or main bearing.
You can probably verify this by pulling the pan and removing each bearing cap one at a time but you might not like what you see.
If it's a spun bearing it will get worse and may seize the rod.....and then things will break.
I wouldn't drive it too far from home....
Regards,
Rick
