... you mean the same OMP that is responsible for injecting oil into your rotor housings ? ... pretty sure a lot worse will happen than just running limp

Yes, it will put your car in limp mode.

You can pull the shaft and it will think its running and not pump oil. However the location of where these oil squirters are pointed is key to side seal longevity. Remember, since we have side exhaust (the exhaust exits via the side irons) the side seals receive an abundant amount of heat. The oil squirters help this area. We have tried removing it based on some advice and found this to be a very bad move.

Didn't know if that gave you any info you were hunting for.

A good soldering job will save you money. No need for a new harness just do the wiring correctly.

they don't need to be, just rest your arm on the cat or something solid when you do it. Or if you can get a neighbor. But save yourself the money its just wiring and you can solder/seal that bad boy up yourself.
