I try to name a post with a description of the problem and this title sums it up.......

I forgot to put my oil fill cap back on after I topped off (idiot move #1) and wasn't able to find it after I drove 35 miles. The inside of the hood and engine compartment were coated in oil, so I stuck a rag in the fill hole (idiot move #2).
I thought it wasn't in far enough for the camshaft to grab it........ I started it and checked - sure enough, the rag stayed put and only a little smoke came out, so I closed the hood and took off to go buy a cap. about 3 miles from the store, I heard a noise briefly, then a belch of blue smoke, then everything seemed fine.
I got the cap and when I opened the hood, guess what? No rag.......at least not where I stuck it. It was wrapped around a little node in between the #1 cylinder intake and exhaust cams.
I pulled the valve cover and got the bulk of the rag out, but there were shards of it all over the place. I spent the next hour cleaning it out and it looks like I got it all.
I plan on adjusting my valves (while I'm in there), replace the valve cover (new gasket) then changing the oil and filter after I run it till the oil is hot and flowing.

Now the questions...... Anyone else ever do this? What else should I do? Where exactly does the oil come out to lube the camshaft? I believe it flows down to the pan through the timing chain passage.....

Thanks
