well as long as it still runs fine, and the engine didnt split apart/fly off the engine mount/etc it should be fine i think.

Make sure you didnt knock the engine loose. If you knocked it loose everytime you hit the throttle it will cause the engine to shift out of position causing the spur gear and clutch bell to bind. This will cause overheating and stalling. It happened too me and it took me weeks to figure out what was going on! My engine had loosened from the engine mount. I tightened it down with locktite and my problems disappeared.

like night said, check the engine mount to be sure it isn't cracked or loose. I cracked the one inside corner off of my engine moutn withot knowing it and it stripped my spur gear because the alignment was off.
