running the engine for a mintue or 2 with no cooling system is wel over enough time to cause irrepairable damage to the block/head.....

hopefully its ok, but running an engine without a cooling system allows things to cavitate and get hot......

if you didnt drive it around i seriously doubt it hurt anything, esp if you could touch any part of the engine without burning your hand
