[QUOTE="Whoopbass, post: 182848, member: 2243"] There's no sensors on a motor that old. There's a guy on iboats that used to work for OMC and he said they tested motors on straight fuel to see what would happen and he said they would run a long time with no damage. I don't believe they tested them at WOT but he said it was surprising how well they would do with no oil. Sounds like your motor got hot and shut down because of expansion. With your compression readings it sounds like its fine. It sucks when you do dumb things like that. I've done stuff where I scratch my head afterwards and want to kick myself. [/QUOTE]
