What kind of things can go wrong on an engine with a failed OMP?
I'm looking at buying an engine core and was just wondering what kinda of things can be damaged when the omp fails? Or they forgot to pre-mix?

Thanks

If you are still running the stock ecu (or Pettit/M2), the check engine light will come on and the ecu will go into "limp home" mode.
