Correct. That's if they all flow through it. The problem would be if some filings get stuck and starve the bearings, etc, of oil and seize from heat. I am hoping this does not happen, and a few oil changes with filters will get all the pieces out.

Well I took the valve covers off and everything seems fine. I also checked the coolant and it had some aluminum flakes in there too.

I will do a few flushes and report back in 100 miles or so.

Well I changed the oil after 100 miles. There were a few flakes but MUCH less than before.

After the oil change I took the 4runner on a road trip to Maine from Virginia and it hasnt missed a beat. Even took it to Canada for a day!
