Ron,
On my computer, the last two pictures show up as copper colored bearings. Is this just the picture/lighting or is the gilding metal gone?
If you don't see any scratches on the bearings, you are probably good to go. However, keep in mind that replacing the rod and main bearings won't help if you got debris into the cam bearings, cam/lifter lobes or rocker bearings.
Only two ways to go- put it back together and hope it's alright (probably is), or pull it, and do a complete tear down and inspect parts for terminal metal debris and clean thoroughly before reassembly if bearings look okay. You may want to also check for any other broken parts in the valley, pan, or on top of the heads from your previous problem.
Just my .02 worth..
