Don\'t feel too bad. read this on the DC2 forums lol
 
I did an oil change last week and had picked up a tip from a mate that involed starting the engine for 20-30 secs with the oil drained out as this would get any remaining old oil out of the engine.
 
It did work and some more oil dripped out of the sump.
 
Then I was reading the owners manual last night and it said that when the Oil Pressure light was on for 10 secs (which it obviously was), serious damage could occur
 
Is there any chance I could have damaged anything?

:2Rolleyes as long as he\'d ported the head with the well established "sand blast through the intake" method, there probably wouldn\'t be any damage.

that story sounds suspiciously like the idiot in the States who was told to flush the engine on his Mustang by filling it with water and the cranking it!!!!

Water\'s incompressible so bye-bye valve train!!!

Why would you even THINK about cranking an engine with minimal/no oil in it?

gonna miss half the summer what with saving and then waiting for it to be rebuilt! unless i can get that engine off of carl...?
