If you keep doing that, the sympathy quotient is going to rapidly drop to ZERO! 
 
These are expensive motors.  Until you have a competent, qualified person look it over, leave it be.  For your own sake! 
 
Good luck!

I agree that the first restart after the noise was reckless. No doubt about it. Subsequently, however, I think I took reasonable, calculated risks.
But it perhaps doesn't make much sense to discuss individual risk perceptions. I started this thread to ask for diagnostic advice. What would have been the diagnostic plan that a competent, qualified person would have followed?
