I'm no expert, but I assume something will go wrong at idle almost as much as DumbDumb's comment of 6,000 RPM. You seem to know what you're doing. Follow the advice of checking everything you can, both under the valve cover and with the
oil pan removed. And as Brent said, assuming all looks good and tight, change the
oil and filter and drive it. Slowly at first and as your confidence grows after a whole lot of miles, then increase the RPMs.
Hopefully, everything is OK and the known remains an unknown. Or as Patrick's idol once said:
"As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know."
I think these particles in the oil were "unknown unknowns" and now are "known unknowns."
