It sounds like you have the lines reversed. As far as damage goes by running the engine with no pressure for 2 minutes, I would pull the pan off and check the number 1, 3, and 5 main bearnings, and a couple of the rod bearings. My buddy did the same thing and his bearings were showing copper instead of babbit.
