Default I started my engine with no oil.

I just put a B20 in my integra from HMO and i cranked it 3 times before it started. It ran for like 5 or 6 seconds at idle before i realized i forgot the oil...
Its spitting small clouds of white smoke intermittently right now.. Is this as bad as im thinking?

i would say your alright if you didnt tear into the engine and it has a little resudial oil in there. there wasnt any load, you didnt run it that long, fill it with oil and pray that god is on your side today

So there was residual oil in there. Also, the engine sat for almost a year so any oil that would have been in there wouldnt have circulated much in those 5 seconds...

The engine started and ran just fine... thanx for the replies....
