I've seen this happen before, all has been but there was 1 time I seen it cause a issue. Motor started to have a vibration after, if thats the case shut it off and pull it apart
I'd pull the filter, cut it open and check for any bearing material or metals. Just to be on the safe side. Won't take but a few minutes and $10.00 filter.
one more thing check the timing again. if you had a stock balancer the ring may have slipped alittle be fore it came off causing timing to be off. Let us know.
