I don't think you have done major damage. The cam looks fine to me.
If you are worried about the mains and Big ends then you will have to pull the engine out, drop the sump off and check the bearings. If you do it soon
then you can pop a new set of shells in and it should be as good as new. If you leave it with worn shells for a period of time you risk damaging the
crank.
Even if you just leave it and you do end up damaging the crank then you are still only looking at a couple of hundred to put it right.
I would leave it and watch the oil pressure - it should be about 60 psi max and 20 psi or so on tickover. It will be higher on tickover when new so if
it has just dropped to 20 or so now then you have accelerated the running in process a little.
ahh ok
it has a high presure oil pump,so my pressure is a bit higher than that,
when wormed and driving it is at 6bar 80 odd psi and at idle it drops to 4.5-5bar,
before this happend with the oil cock up,
it ran 6bar driving and just under 6 at idle,
it is a new engine,coverd 200miles

Don't worry about it - you have got away with it.
