I highly recommend pulling the pan and looking at your bearings.

I completely distroyed a brand new engine by doing the same thing you did. Also, take off your oil filter and cut it apart and look at the folded filter material. This is dirty work but it is a lot easier than re-building that engine. Bearings are cheap.

Also, if you do find any brass, aluminum, or copper in your filter you will want to throw away your oil cooler too. I have learned this lesson all to well. You probably don't have any damage but it is sure worth it to check everything out NOW!
