Thanks for the reply Ken. I can't see any damage at all. The pistons have a little blow by that I think is from the one lean run. I did let it cool down for an hour afterwards and put in 3 flights following the dead stick and she ran fine. The only change I had made was to switch from 40:1 to 50:1 as it had been run with 40:1 for 5 gallons. At this point I'm thinking about putting in back together, adding enough oil to being me back up to 40:1 and giving it another shot. If you look at the pics you will notice no discoloration of the needle bearings.
