I too would give it a whirl. Only, I would put a couple magnets in the pan just in case. But back in the '80's when Chevies were eating camshafts for breakfast, lunch and dinner I replaced a bunch of them and never worried about the resulting metal in the pan. It didn't seem to hurt anything. Maybe the filters caught it. Often times a cam would have two flat lobes and more were half gone, plus the metal from lifter faces. That is a lot of ground up iron in an engine! Yet they survived and the customer drove away happy. Never had anyone come back with a shot engine.
