Oh man.... bummer. Five minutes of cumulative running time!!! I'm hoping that any damage is light. If it were my engine, after your friends funeral, I'd pull the entire thing down and check and replace as required. Just too many variables to deal with..... rod and main bearings, piston skirts, cam lobes, ...... I don't know what your investment is, but I wouldn't take the chance of running it with the possibility that you'll spin a bearing or seize up the thing.

Sorry Dave, wish I could be more optimistic.
