Okay, just fill the compressor with liquid, don't turn it by hand to ensure that it is not liquid locked and crank it up. It's your compressor, so you have all the right in the world to destroy it if you like.

I would say that filling it with oil and not turning it by hand, you would have a chance of NOT liquid locking the compressor. I suggested, as you would find on any a/c web site, that you turn it by hand to ensure no liquid is present to destroy the compressor. I suggested this as a courtesy by sharing my personal experience with you in an effort to save you a compressor. That's what we do here on this site. We try to help each other.

For those who don't believe that we know what we are talking about, they can tell us that we are full of it and do what they like.

As to liquid lock being impossible because of a reed valve, how do you think that the compressor COMPRESSES? The reed valve closes on the compression stroke. With liquid in the cylinder something has got to give. Even if it's the reed valve that gives, you will still have to replace or repair the compressor. We are only trying to tell you how to prevent that.
