The fact that you didn't have an immediate LOPA (Loss Of Pushrod Accident) to the atmosphere is a good sign. You won't know what you MAY have stressed until it breaks (IF it breaks), however. Reinstall the rev limiter and don't look back. Also, DO NOT tell the dealership about this! LOL!

Losing a pushrod is pretty tough in an overhead cam engine.....

i lost ALL of my pushrods, man. i think they're under my bed or something
if there are no noises, and everything's normal, you should be fine methinks. worst case is a valve made contact with a piston, but didn't permanently damage anything.

The OP reminds me of myself. I always freak out when something potentially damaging happens to my car. However, if nothing is making any noises, and if it runs fine, don't worry about it. Everything is fine in moderation, just don't do it again
