i did something really dumb...fuel pump

this is why i hate starting something simple, like replacing a fuel pump, one day, and finishing it a week later.

so last weekend i pull my pump to replace it and the line from the pump to carb. i ran out of time, so today i finish it up and start the motor to check for leaks. hear a faint strange squeeking / knocking sound. its cold out, figure the lifters.....then i see it....@%*k! the long bolt holding the pump rod is still in! i had snugged it just enough to hold the rod in place while replacing the pump but looking at the end of the bolt, i can see where it was grinding against the rod.

should i pull the pump, plate and check the rod? should i worry about having jacked up the cam? it seems to run fine after i put in the correct bolt.
