Too late, I did what I have always done. Cranked it over till I saw the oil pressure gauge move, and then started spraying ether.

Interesting read though. I consider myself cautious, I had a fire extinguisher within reach, but not as cautious as the guy in that article.

I at the very least was expecting some chatter out of the valvetrain..... nothing.

Good!! At least you did that. You may well have saved that engine from further damage. Hope it all works out for you.
