I’ve created this account to get some expert opinion on what has been the biggest mess up of me wrenching cars. I am floored at this point and realized I’ve made a very stupid mistake.
My car is an R33 GTR. I’ve recently purchased an oil filter block to relocate my oil filter. In my quest to figure out where in the engine bay I will be fabricating a bracket to mount the remote oil filter plate, I’ve decided to cap off both -10AN outlet/inlet while I first start on the car to verify it runs good, thinking oil pressure will still flow through out the motor without an oil filter. I’ve called up the manufacturer of the oil block after the fact to verify this (which I should have done since the beginning) and quickly gave me the news that I f$&ked up very badly. I thought the oil pressure light was probably a result of a faulty oil sensor. Man am I stupid.. Regardless to say he advised my to rehook the oil filter, run the engine with oil pressure, redrain and look for particles in the oil.
Ive ran the motor for a total of 10 minutes or so. How f**ked am I for running the motor with oil but no oil pressure? Should I assume the worst at this point, that being requiring a rebuild?
