Just be sure to check the rod for play by taking out the plug, turn engine over till you feel it pinch a little. Then see how much the fyl wheel wiggles when rocked back and forth very gently. Should be ok but ya never know. If you run it again and it kills a couple of plugs for no reason, you have a rod about to break so be on the pro active side of things and check often..
