For your own piece of mind, you may want to do this. Start it back up and run it another 20 minutes or so at a higher than normal idle speed, like 2000 RPM. Then while the engine is still warm, drop the oil out and the oil filter. Cut the oil filter off near the threads. Don't use a saw. You can punch a hole in it and then cut around it with tin snips. They make a tool for cutting filters, I am assuming you don't have one. It will be messy. Use a box cutter and slice the paper element down the length and cut across the area where you cut the can. Now extract the paper element and put on a clean rag and un-fold it. If you have a cam love failing, you will absolutely see the material in the oil filter. It will be dark gray and magnetic and their will be allot of it in the filter. If the filter is pretty clean and no gritty feel, and no material, your good to go. Very few new camshafts fail after 40-60 minutes of run-in time. Especially one with gentle stock lobes, little lift and weak valve springs. You should be just fine.
