Could lack of fuel damaged my rebuild?
Hey guys I had a thread a long while back on how my rebuild was hesitating like crazy from 2k and up, anyways i drove the car like this for about 650 miles... I got a new fuel pump and the problem stoped. I was wondering if this might of fucked up or shorten the life of my new rebuild. I never took it past 3K rpms, or i havent yet. The car sounds really nice now and no more hesitation according to the mechanic but I appreciate all ur input in advanced guys.

If it didn't blow (stop working completely from a broken seal), it seems unlikely that there was any damage.

As long as you didn't overheat the engine and it doesn't tremble for no reason, you're ok. Get a compression check just to make sure. Good luck!
