Looks fine to me but the fact that you had metal in the ims tube may come back to haunt. Common wisdom is that once the bearing starts shedding metal you cant just rellace it. You have to take the motor apart and clean it.

Although there are several accounts of people replacing bearings that were shedding metal and doing several oil changes immexiately and the motor survived.
