I did a dead stick landing yesterday on a nearby lake because of a busted oil hose.  Lost the oil pressure and lost the oil.   The engine stopped, so I do not know how long it ran without oil prsssure.    What should I  look for to see if any damage was done to the engine and to the redrive?

I fixed the hose, refilled the oil and flew back to the airport.
The engine develop full power and run smooth.
Turning the prop by hand I get compression on all lobes.

Going to replace all oil hoses!
