Actually, before you do a lot more, you might want to cut open the old oil filter just to see if there is any very small metal particles there as well.
That's a good precaution on filter changes of rebuilt motors.
Once you cut the filter apart, squeeze the paper element in a vise to get most of the old out out. It's less messy to inspect that way.
