There should be no damage since the engine did not run long enough.

Actually i have my 308 for service in a local
workshop. They had changed all tubes around the
engine because these are 14 years old.
The company which made the oil tube had done
a bad job. When running the engine in neutral gear
for testing, the oil tube to the oil cooler leaks, the oil pressure goes down and the engine
lost appr. 1 liter oil. The engine runs appr. 30s
under these conditions before the mechanic can stop it. The mechanic said this wouldnt cause any
damage because the engine runs in neutral gear
only for a short time. But i am a little bit
worry about it.
Whats Your opinion ?

Dirk
